Weekly rallies are being held across the country, urging the government to negotiate a comprehensive deal to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of hostages. Demonstrators have gathered at Nahalal Junction in northern Israel, showing solidarity with hostages by waving Israeli and yellow flags. The protests are organized on the eve of a nationwide strike, which has been called for by the October Council. This council represents families of hostages and those who have lost loved ones in the conflict.
