Acording to EFE News Agency, until October 7, Israeli society was deeply divided by a controversial judicial reform promoted by the Netanyahu government, the most right-wing in Israel’s history.
After the escalation of the conflict, civil society agreed to show unity. And anti-government demonstrations had been suspended until a few weeks ago, when they resumed but with little participation.
Approximately 132 people, including two under-fives, continue captive by Hamas in Gaza, 25 of whom have died. Of these, 121 are Israelis and 11 are foreigners (eight from Thailand and the rest from Nepal, Tanzania, and a Franco-Mexican).
