Hundreds of protesters gathered at Karkur Junction calling for a deal and the release of hostages. Meanwhile, thousands marched in Haifa to Horev Junction, demanding an end to the war and the return of living hostages and the bodies of those killed from captivity in Gaza. Former commander of Flotilla 13, Ran Galinka, spoke in Haifa: "I don't trust you, Netanyahu. You're not Mr. Security, not Mr. Economy. You're a cheating liar, a hedonist, a leaker who is not only criminally indicted but systematically working to eliminate the independence of all gatekeepers. This con man is not interested in the difficult images of hostages being released in an agreement. He apparently has no problem with 20 more casualties. He'll find hollow words in Hebrew and English, blame the IDF Chief of Staff, the Attorney General and former officials."
