Thousands demonstrated in Tel Aviv Saturday, pressing for an agreement to end the Gaza conflict before Netanyahu's White House meeting with Trump Monday. Israeli airstrikes killed 92 Palestinians across Gaza, with 45 deaths occurring in Gaza City, according to local rescue officials. Families of hostages demanded their relatives' return at the rally. Trump indicated Thursday that a ceasefire deal appeared possible.
Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly Friday, stating Israel would complete its mission against Hamas despite ceasefire discussions. Far-right coalition partner Ben Gvir opposes any agreement that fails to achieve Hamas's total defeat. Militants captured 251 people during the October 2023 attack, with 47 remaining in Gaza. The initial assault killed 1,219 Israelis while the subsequent offensive resulted in 65,926 Palestinian deaths.
