Thousands of protesters are protesting this evening (Saturday) against the government across the country, with a clear call to hold elections as soon as possible and to approve a deal for the return of the abductees.
Among the hotspots are Habima Square in Tel Aviv, Karkur Junction, Ra'anana Junction, Beer Sheva, Kfar Saba, Mitzpe Ramon, Caesarea and Haifa, as well as several bridges on main roads.
Shiral Hogg, a resident of Ofakim whose sister and her family were seriously injured on October 7, is furious with the government which he claims continues to divide the people.
"126 days from the seventh to October, from the terrible disaster," he said.
"136 abductees whose lives are in danger, which you neglected and continue to neglect. An entire nation is wounded, in pain, paying the price of the government of the disaster. An entire nation is looking for leadership that it deserves. The leadership of failure continues to destroy, divide and harm. We are looking for leaders and they are constantly, non-stop, looking for guilty."

Hogg continued to talk about the economic aspect, after yesterday Moody's announced that Israel's credit rating was lowered for the first time in the country's history.
"With your terrible negligence, you also destroyed the economic future. The credit rating companies lowered Israel's rating solely because of your irresponsibility," he said.
"You are busy drinking vodka to minister in TikTok videos, division and incitement, conspiracies, lies and poison - everything to divert the terrible truth and your fundamental responsibility for the terrible disaster. The Israeli government has cut off from its citizens, you are not worthy of this nation. Replacing the people of failure with the generation of victory, the Israeli trap, is why we are all here ".
The Kaplan Force, one of the main organizations in the protest against the legal revolution, announced that this week it would organize the first demonstrations since the beginning of the war.
On Thursday evening, the demonstrators plan to arrive at the homes of members of the Knesset and ministers, including Amir Ohana, Ofir Akunis, Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Gila Gamliel, Yariv Levin, Yuli Edelstein, Yoav Kish, Nir Barkat, Yoav Galant, Eliyahu Dellal and Zvika Fogel.

Chen Hamo Yogev, self-employed from Sde Nehemiah in the Upper Galilee who is now being evacuated from her home, was angry at the state's plan that calls for residents to return home despite the security threat in the north.
"In mid-November, the head of the council issued a new call to residents who were not officially evacuated - return home!" said Hamo-Yogev.
"The state's evacuation plan does not include you. Only one kilometer separates us from the officially evacuated settlements. Due to lack of choice and lack of resources, we returned home. We discovered that we were destined to live in a war zone."
Hamo-Yogev attacked Netanyahu, saying that she is in serious financial trouble.
"Mr. Prime Minister, have you ever tried to run to a protected area in zero seconds? The entire area is deserted. We are collapsing financially. Me personally as a self-employed person - in one day my income dropped from a hundred to zero. We are cut off in the north - but you in the government there are completely cut off from the people. You have lost the north Hamo-Yogev stated that she is not ready for the north to be like the "Lebanon envelope", as a comparison to the situation happening in the Gaza envelope.
"
Government of Israel, you have lost the north, you have lost your conscience and we have lost trust in you.
We will not be the next Gaza encirclement, we will not be the next Lebanon encirclement.
I call on the government of Israel - return the mandate to the people - go to the elections now!
