As a result of the Gaza war, nationwide protests have occurred across Israel, including rallies, demonstrations, campaigns, and vigils. These demonstrations occurred as part of broader war-related protests occurring worldwide. Israelis domestically and abroad have primarily called for the return of hostages held by Hamas.
The biggest war-related protest movement in Israel, named "Bring Them Home Now" and aims for the return of the hostages, has demonstrated on a weekly basis in Tel Aviv near the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) headquarters.[1] Jewish Israeli anti-war activists have been targeted by far-right groups,[2] while Arab Israelis have experienced a crackdown on free speech, with individuals arrested for social media posts and likes.[2] By 22 December 2023, 67% of Israelis supported a ceasefire in exchange for the return of hostages held by Hamas.[3][4]
