The 2024 Israeli protests are a series of demonstrations,[1] instances of civil disorder,[2] and riots[3] against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government, primarily sparked by the Israel–Hamas war and the hostage crisis. The protests aim to pressure Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire and reach a hostage deal. The protests began sporadically at the onset of the war but have grown significantly in size and intensity, culminating in massive gatherings across various Israeli cities.[4][5][6]

On 1 September 2024, after six hostages were found killed in the Gaza Strip, the protest organizations announced a day of demonstrations, with more than 500,000 people having protested throughout the country and outside of it for a hostage deal. The Histadrut went on a day of strike the following day.[7]

Background

The earliest rounds of protests against Netanyahu and his government started between 2020 and 2021, after he tried to delay his trial. These early protests, were colloquially called "the Black Flag Protests", and later "the Balfour Protests" (named after the official residence of the Prime Minister, which is on the corner of Balfour Street). The next round of protests came between January and October 2023 in response to the government's push for a wide-ranging judicial reform, aimed to change the makeup of the Judicial Selection Committee.[8] The current round of protests aims to pressure Netanyahu to sign a hostage deal and step down; the protesters consider Netanyahu a major factor in Israel's political crises over the last few years, ultimately leading to the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 and the ensuing Israel–Hamas war.[9][10][11][12]

Response

Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has largely remained defiant in the face of protests and strikes,[100] often ignoring them. However, in one instance, he criticized the protesters, describing them as "a violent and extremist minority funded by external sources".[101]

After September 2024 Israel hostage deal protests wave, Netanyahu has made a speech about the Philadelphi corridor without mentioning the protests.[102]

Israel's Leader of the Opposition Yair Lapid supported the strike of the Histadrut and the September protests, and accused the Netanyahu administration of leading the nation into "the greatest anarchy".[103]

Worldwide

US President Joe Biden said he needed to do more after nearly 11 months of fighting,[102] but also said Israel is not doing enough to secure a hostage deal and ceasefire with Hamas.[104]

Annalena Baerbock, German Foreign Minister, said that "military pressure endangers the lives of the hostages".[105]
