(250810) -- TEL AVIV, Aug. 10, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Israeli people are pictured during a rally protesting against Israeli army's decision to take over Gaza City in Tel Aviv, Israel, Aug. 9, 2025. The Israeli army's planned takeover of Gaza City is expected to take at least six months, Israel's state-owned Kan TV News reported on Saturday evening.
The Israeli army's decision to take over Gaza City has drawn condemnation both domestically and internationally, with critics arguing it violates international law, worsens the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and undermines efforts to reach a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, thousands demonstrated in Tel Aviv's "Hostages Square" Saturday evening, calling for an end to the war through an agreement that would secure the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. (Photo by Jamal Awad/Xinhua)
