Jewish demonstrators took part in a Free Palestine march, publicly rejecting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Al Jazeera reporter Emma Withrow said.
The march, organized by pro‑Palestinian activists, drew a mixed crowd that included members of the Jewish community who voiced opposition to Netanyahu’s policies toward the Palestinians.
Participants held signs and chanted slogans denouncing the Israeli government, with the Jewish protesters emphasizing that criticism of the state’s actions does not equate to anti‑Jewish sentiment.
Benjamin Netanyahu, who has served as Israel’s prime minister for multiple terms since 2009, has faced growing international scrutiny over the handling of the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict, prompting a wave of demonstrations worldwide.
The presence of Jewish voices at the rally highlights internal dissent within Israel’s own population and adds a nuanced dimension to the global calls for a resolution to the decades‑long dispute.
