As Many As 100,000 People Rally in Tel Aviv to Oppose Netanyahu's Plan to Escalate War in Gaza
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Israel, as many as 100,000 people rallied in Tel Aviv Saturday to
oppose Netanyahu's plan to escalate the Gaza war. This comes as families
of hostages held in Gaza have called for a general strike to oppose
Netanyahu's plan. This is Lishay Lavi, whose husband, Omri Miran, is
being held hostage in Gaza.

Lishay Lavi: "We are here today to call on Israel's largest companies,
trade unions and the tech sector to stop everything in order to save our
hostages and our soldiers. We are doing this because we have no choice."
