On Tuesday, October 27, Israelis will go to the polls for the first time since Hamas’s terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.

The election is being described as a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Whoever has led us for the past four years (since Netanyahu’s government took office at the end of 2022) has done a terrible job," 68-year-old Hadas Feuershtein told AFP.

Israel has never been in such a bad situation as it is now.

The demonstration was organized by a group of relatives of hostages captured during the Hamas terrorist attack.

The group is calling for an independent state commission to investigate how the massacre could have happened and how its aftermath is being handled.
