Thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets of Tel Aviv to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, just days before Israel’s October 27, 2026, general election. The protesters are demanding an independent state commission of inquiry into the security failures that preceded the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks. Families of victims and former hostages have called for accountability, while opposition leaders have joined the demonstrations. Netanyahu has resisted calls for an independent inquiry, proposing a different investigative mechanism. Opposition parties have pledged to establish a state commission of inquiry if they take power. With public anger, political divisions and uncertainty over the formation of a governing majority, the election is being closely watched as a major test for Netanyahu’s leadership. Can the protests translate into votes? Will Netanyahu retain power, or will the election reshape Israel’s political future? n18oc_indiaNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
