On August 7, Jerusalem streets buzzed with energy as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the prime ministers office. They marched, chanted, and held signs demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the safe return of hostages 🤲✨
Inside a tense security cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the plan is to remove Hamas from power and hand over Gaza to a civilian administration backed by Arab partners. It is a big shift in strategy that could reshape the regions future 🌐⚖️
Since October 2023, Palestinian authorities report over 61,100 lives lost in Gaza, and much of the territory has been left in ruins. Families on both sides of the conflict are feeling the weight of these decisions more than ever 💔
Back in Jerusalem, the protesters represent a mix of students, activists, and everyday people. They are using art, music, and powerful slogans to push for peace — believing that dialogue and human connection can triumph over continued violence 🎨🎶
As the security cabinets debate continues, these voices from the streets remind leaders that the call for peace is growing louder. Will policymakers listen? We will be watching closely — and so should you 👀
