The weekly Saturday night rallies in Tel Aviv, which have long focused on demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza, have ended as only one hostage, Ran Gvili, remains. Family members of Gvili held a Shabbat ceremony, urging Israel not to advance the Gaza peace deal until his body is returned. With the hostage rallies concluded, anti-government protests are now set to become the main Saturday night events, with demonstrators gathering at Habima Square to voice opposition to government policies, including military service exemptions and judicial reforms. Protests are also planned in Jerusalem and Haifa, where local authorities are seeking to relocate longstanding demonstrations.
