Israelis push Netanyahu for ceasefire after Hamas kills hostages | Ian Bremmer's Quick Take

​The largest social dissent we have seen since the October 7 terror attacks, since the war in Gaza has started in Israel. And the proximate reason for this was the Hamas execution of six Israeli hostages in Rafah. It's a big deal; it's a general strike of the largest labor union in Israel. They want an end to the fighting, they want the hostages back, and they want a deal done, and they're tired of the way this war has been prosecuted.

‪@Ian_Bremmer‬'s Quick Take:

A Quick Take to kick off your week and the work year.

I want to talk about the Middle East and big demonstrations, the largest social dissent we have seen since the October 7th terror attacks, since the war in Gaza has started in Israel. And the proximate reason for this was the Hamas execution of six Israeli hostages in Rafah, likely before those positions were overrun by Israeli Defense Forces. The broader point anger with the way that Prime Minister Netanyahu is continuing to prosecute the war.

And it's a big deal, it's a general strike of the largest labor union in Israel, just as everyone in Israel is coming back from vacation. And so large scale action and certainly has an impact on the economy. The anger in particular with demanding a ceasefire deal and demanding the release of the hostages who have been held now for almost a year.
