The protesters demanded an end to the war and the release of hostages from Gaza, and also called for elections that many hoped would oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Remember, only democracy in the middle east

I mean it is though, (unless you count Iraq and Turkey), that's why this protest against the war and for an election is even allowed to happen.

I think the point is that "it isn't" if people are clamoring on the streets for an election that never comes.

I guess we'll see what happens next

The election is almost guaranteed to happen though, all they're protesting over is the timing.

Netanyahu is claiming he wants to wait till the war is over. The protestors are saying that he's just using that to keep himself out of jail.

The longest Netanyahu can draw this struggle out is October 2026. Another election is guaranteed, Netanyahu isn't going to suddenly make himself dictator with his tiny popularity.

Many people thought that guy in Germany wouldn't. Many people claim Trump in the US won't if reelected...

Scary times we live in, not sure if count any crazy shit out.

Guaranteed until this "war" stretches on and he needs to delay the election because Hamas just launched a new attack and he needs to stay in government to deal with them.
