Israeli protesters united against Netanyahu govt
Israelis are holding another day of big demonstrations outside of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, to call for new elections. Many Israelis are angry about the way Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s is conducting the war in Gaza. They are angry that more than 100 Israelis are still being held hostage in Gaza, and they don’t have faith that Netanyahu’s government is making the right decisions for the security of the country, in Jersusalem, April 1, 2024.
Israeli protesters from various groups have come together to demand elections and the removal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. To put pressure on the government, they’ve set up a tent city in front of the Knesset — Israel’s parliament — in Jerusalem. And, Turkey’s main opposition party, the CHP, won municipal elections in 35 of the country’s 81 provinces Sunday, which included Turkey’s largest cities. The results are a blow to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s party, the AKP. Also, a conversation with senior Hamas politician Bassem Naim includes a wide range of issues, such as the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the fate of the Israeli hostages and the future of Gaza. Plus, a special Sudanese beverage for Ramadan.
