Palestinian and Jewish protesters stage rare peace march

Chanting “yes, to peace, yes, to a deal” a rare rally of hundreds of Palestinian and Jewish Israelis marched noisily through Tel Aviv on Thursday demanding an end to the Gaza war.

Their agenda starts with calling for a ceasefire in the more than nine-month Israel-Hamas war amid its spiralling death toll, but they ultimately seek more permanent solutions to end the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“It basically went silent after October 7,“ Amira Mohammed, a Palestinian citizen of Israel from east Jerusalem said of the peace camp.

“The radicals became louder than the peace movement. So right now we’ve got to be radical about the peace that we want.”
