Thousands in Tel Aviv protest against Netanyahu’s plan to escalate Gaza war

Organisers say more than 100,000 people joined demonstration demanding end to military campaign

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday night to oppose Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to escalate the Gaza war.

A day earlier, the Israeli prime minister's office said the security cabinet had decided to seize Gaza City, expanding military operations in the devastated Palestinian territory despite widespread public opposition and warnings from the military the move could endanger the hostages.
