File photo shows the aftermath of an Israeli strike on the Gaza Strip during the regime’s 2023-present war of genocide against the coastal sliver.
Israeli youths have stormed the center stage in the middle of the Israeli version of the Big Brother reality television series, denouncing the regime’s persistence in its war of genocide on the Gaza Strip at the cost of its captives.
The development was caught on live broadcast and reported by various Israeli outlets on Saturday.
The youths, who were wearing T-shirts inscribed with Hebrew words translating into, “Get out of Gaza,” forced their way past security guards before sitting on the stage near the presenter.
HaAh HaGadol, which attracts hundreds of thousands of viewers per episode, was broadcast amid mounting outrage among the regime’s settlers concerning Tel Aviv’s refusal to come to terms with a ceasefire deal that could bring back the remaining captives.
The regime launched the genocide as a means of, what it has called, defeating Gaza’s Hamas resistance movement, forcing the territory’s population out, and enabling release of those Israeli captives, who remained there.
Around 22 months on, though, the war has claimed the lives of nearly 61,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and, according to Israeli daily Ha’aretz, also killed at least 20 of the captives as a result of indiscriminate assaults.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the war’s unashamed mastermind, however, insists that the genocide is the only means of bringing the captives back.
Critics, including former chief of the regime’s Shin Bet spy agency, Ronen Bar have responded by calling him the only impediment to a ceasefire deal that would return the captives.
On Wednesday, father of one of the captives asked the Israeli military chief to take on the regime rather than the war-torn coastal sliver.
"The chief of staff must take the 98th Division to the Knesset (Israeli parliament), besiege it, and rid us of this murderous” regime, Nimrod Cohen’s father, Yehuda, said, Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Tuesday.
Also on Saturday, it was reported that anti-war protesters had rallied in front of Trump Tower in New York to demonstrate against the United States unprecedented military and political patronage for the war.
The participants held up a large banner reading, “Divest from Genocide,” while beating drums and shouting slogans.
Washington has provided the warfare with billions of dollars in arms support and also stiffly confronted any punitive international measure against the Israeli regime.
