Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the idea of early elections on Saturday, as thousands of Israelis
gathered in Tel Aviv to protest against the government, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

During a press conference,
Netanyahu responded to the
calls within the Likud party for early elections immediately after the end of
Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, "The last thing we
need now is elections and dealing with elections because they will immediately
divide us... We need unity now.”
Opinion polls indicate a decline in
Netanyahu's popularity since
October 7, 2023. While anti-government protests
significantly subsided during the war, protesters returned to the streets of
Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, calling for early elections. However, Israel will
not hold elections before 2026.
Local media reported that the protesters,
numbering only a few thousand, were much fewer than those who participated in
the massive protests in 2023.
A protester said, "I want to say to the
government, you had your time and destroyed everything you can destroy. Now is
the time for the people to correct all these things, all the bad things you
have done."
