Analysis: Increased pressure on Netanyahu - the protests expose deep political rifts
The latest wave of protests against Benjamin Netanyahu's government poses a major challenge for the Israeli prime minister, writes Haaretz's Amos Harel in an analysis. Negotiations between Israel and Hamas have stalled time and again in recent months, and the families of the hostages now appear to be concluding that the only way forward in the talks lies on their shoulders - by increasing the pressure on Netanyahu.
The slow pace of progress and Netanyahu's "inability to show even minimal empathy for the suffering of the hostages has finally caused the cup to run over," Harel continues.
The weekend's large protests make visible again the deep political division in Israel, a rift that was temporarily overshadowed after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, writes the BBC's Jeremy Bowen in an analyzing text.
The Israelis still fully agree on the war's goal of crushing the terrorist group, he continues.
"But the way the war is being handled, and the failure to save or free all the hostages, is putting Benjamin Netanyahu under career-ending pressure."

Protests in Israel: "The hostages will not return"
Tens of thousands of people took part last night in protests against Benjamin Netanyahu's government and its handling of hostages in Gaza, reports Sky News.
According to the AP news agency, the protests are the largest since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7.
"We don't think any hostages will come back under this government because they are busy stalling the negotiations," said Boaz Atzili, whose wife Liat is believed to be in captivity in Gaza.
Demonstrations were also held in Tel Aviv
Israel has left Gaza's largest hospital: "In ruins"
Two weeks after Israel's military stormed the al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip, they have now begun to withdraw their troops from the site, international media write. The area has been rocked by shells and airstrikes since the raid began on March 18, and witnesses on the ground told AP that parts of the hospital had been set on fire.
Al Jazeera reporter Ismail al-Ghoul confirms that picture.
- There is no life here. The hospital is in ruins, he says.
Israel has described the raids as "precision operations" targeting Hamas, and claims to have killed 200 extremists at al-Shifa. However, the information has not been able to be verified by independent sources.

Political situation in Turkey
Expert: Erdogan's setback shows he is vulnerable
The fact that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP party lost in Turkey's three largest cities in the Turkish local elections on Sunday puts Erdogan in a "very difficult situation". That is what Turkey expert Paul Levin tells SvD.
Levin points out, among other things, that the party is once again losing in the president's hometown of Istanbul, where Erdogan himself was previously mayor. This despite the fact that the president has made it clear that he really wants to take back his grip on the city.
- It shows that he can lose. He is vulnerable. [...] It is both a real and a symbolic loss, says Levin.
The fact that it is instead Istanbul's incumbent mayor Ekrem Imamoglu who emerges victorious in the local elections may in the long run have consequences for the entire country, he continues.

Analysis: Erdogan's power is not invincible
"A historically bad election result for Erdogan", is how SVT's Turkey correspondent Thomas Thorén describes Sunday's Turkish local elections, where President Erdogan's party AKP backs down sharply while the opposition party CHP took power in the country's three largest cities.
Thorén says that the result will not have any major effects for the national power.
- But there is a psychological effect of the result. The opposition has shown that Erdogan's long and strong hold on power is not completely invincible, he continues.
In the largest city of Istanbul, it is incumbent mayor Ekrem Imamoglu who secures a clear victory over AKP candidate Murat Kurum. DN's Nathan Shachar writes that Imamoglu has consolidated his position as Erdogan's given opponent in the next presidential election, if he is allowed to run.
"In last year's presidential election, the regime was about to block Imamoglu with fanciful accusations of terrorism," he writes.
