Occupied Quds - Saba:
On Thursday evening, the Zionist enemy police arrested at least four protesters during a demonstration on "Begin" Road in Jaffa (Tel Aviv), calling for a deal to release Zionist prisoners in Gaza and an end to the ongoing war.
According to enemy media sources, three protesters were taken to the "Lev Tel Aviv" police station, while a fourth was transferred to another facility after being detained inside a police vehicle.
The newspaper Haaretz reported that the arrests occurred after protesters blocked traffic on "Namir" Road, a vital route leading to Begin Street in the city center.
The protest followed a march that started at Rabin Square and headed toward the vicinity of the Israeli army headquarters (the Kirya). The march was led by a group of Israeli soldiers' mothers demanding an end to the war in Gaza and the return of prisoners.
Opposition Leader Calls for End to War
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid stated that it is time to end the war in Gaza, urging the leadership to change its failing strategy.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lapid said, "Tel Aviv has failed in Gaza, and the war has reached a dead end," calling for its conclusion to secure the prisoners' release.
"What we are doing now isn’t working. The war has reached a deadlock," he added.
He continued, "It is time to end the war in Gaza. The leadership must know when to change strategy when it stops succeeding."
Lapid further emphasized, "It is not right to leave Israeli soldiers in Gaza as targets for further attacks."
Criticism of Netanyahu’s Motives
The Israeli opposition and prisoners' families accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prolonging the war to appease the far-right extremists in his government, serving his personal political interests—particularly his grip on power—rather than national priorities.
