In Israel, mass protests have erupted in Tel Aviv, with demonstrators demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's resignation. In response to growing anti-government sentiment, the Histadrut, Israel's largest workers union, has announced a general strike set to begin on Monday. This move aims to pressure the government into negotiating a deal for hostages. Several municipalities have joined the call for a strike, and the union head is expected to meet with hostages' families and make a public statement.
