Israeli protesters vow to oust Netanyahu as confusion erupts over humanitarian pauses
ISRAELI protesters pledged to hound Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office today, blocking major roads as the savage war in Gaza raged on.
It was a day of chaos and mixed messages in Tel Aviv, with an army announcement of daytime “pauses” to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza apparently taking Mr Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant by surprise.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir reacted furiously, ordering police not to interfere with rioters who attack aid convoys, and the Israeli Defence Forces later clarified that the 8am to 7pm pauses would apply only to a particular road north from the Kerem Shalom Gaza-Israel crossing point and the attacks on southern Gaza and Rafah would continue.
