Protests in Israel are escalating plans for the occupation of Gaza

• The rise of protests in Israel due to the war in Gaza
• Residents of Gaza fear mass displacement and destruction
• The movement of army veterans in Israel is gaining popularity

In Israel, there has been an unprecedented rise due to the expanded military operation in Gaza. On September 24, 2025, a major protest took place in Tel Aviv demanding an end to the war. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Habima Square, ignoring police bans on the march. The protests were held against the backdrop of the ongoing hunger crisis in Gaza, which has been a consequence of Israel's military actions.

At the same time, the Israeli government approved a plan for the military occupation of Gaza, which includes three stages: humanitarian aid, the relocation of residents to centralized camps, and a full blockade. Residents of Gaza are experiencing fear and insecurity due to these plans, which threaten mass displacement and loss.

The movement of army veterans in Israel is also gaining momentum. Many Israelis, including young people, publicly refuse to serve in the military, considering participation in the war unacceptable. Recent surveys show that 33% of Jewish Israelis consider refusing to serve in the military justified.

Residents of Gaza, such as Shaima and Vassim, are preparing for possible relocation to the southern part of the sector, but many of them believe it is better to stay at home, even under occupation. They are concerned about the future, as Israeli forces plan a full blockade and control of the area.

The reaction to the plans for occupation has sparked a wave of protests and international actions. People in Gaza are calling for support to avoid further suffering and destruction.
