In recent weeks, hundreds or even thousands of Israelis have gathered in places like Tel Aviv’s Habima Square. They hold signs, chant slogans, and demand an end to the wars. Some say “If not Gaza, then Iran, then Lebanon”, meaning the government keeps finding new fights instead of bringing peace. Protesters blame Netanyahu for dragging Israel into endless fighting that hurts ordinary people. The war with Iran started earlier in 2026 after years of tension over Iran’s nuclear program and missiles.

Israel and the United States carried out strikes on Iranian targets. Iran hit back with missiles and drones. The fighting caused deaths, damage, and fear on both sides. A ceasefire was discussed, but it remains shaky. Many Israelis worry the war is not making them safer. Instead, it brings more rockets, higher costs, and uncertainty.

According to a report by Tasnim news agency, many people in Israel are protesting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and its war with Iran. The agency called them “Israeli occupiers,” a term often used by Iranian media. These protests show growing anger inside Israel over the ongoing conflict.

Why are Israelis protesting against war with Iran?

Life in Israel has become hard. Families lose loved ones in the military. The economy suffers from long reserve duty, closed businesses, and high prices. Protesters say Netanyahu uses the wars to stay in power and avoid his own legal problems. They want talks and peace, not more bombs.

Groups like Standing Together and Peace Partnership organize many of these rallies. They call for dialogue with neighbors instead of constant war with Iran.

Police sometimes clash with protesters. Officers arrest people, take away signs, and limit crowd sizes for “security reasons” during wartime. But protests continue week after week. Numbers grow from small groups to over a thousand in Tel Aviv and other cities like Haifa and Jerusalem. Some demonstrators stand outside the US embassy too, because America supports Israel’s actions.

The reports highlight these protests to show weakness in Israel. Also, Iranian media often calls Israelis as “occupiers” because of the long dispute over Palestinian lands. They use the protests to say the Israeli government has no real support for its war. But the picture inside Israel is mixed. Many Israelis still back strong action against Iran, fearing its nuclear plans and support for groups like Hezbollah.

Polls show some people worry about war with Iran. A growing feelings in Israel is tired of war with Iran and questions the government’s choices.

These protests are not new

Israelis have demonstrated against Netanyahu for years over corruption, judicial changes, and handling of Gaza. The Iran war added fuel to the fire. People carry photos of killed children from all sides and chant “Don’t bomb, talk.” They say endless war helps no one. Some ultra-Orthodox Jews also protest because of rules about military service.

The situation remains tense. Netanyahu says the ceasefire with Iran is only a step, not the end. He promises to keep Israel safe. But protesters reply that true safety comes from peace agreements, not more fighting. The war hurt Iran’s nuclear sites and economy, but it also cost Israel money and lives.

Global oil prices rose, affecting everyone

These protests reveal deep division. One side believes military power is the only way to deal with enemies. The other side believes talks and stopping the cycle of violence can build a better future. Ordinary Israelis in the middle just want normal life, safe schools, jobs, and families without fear of sirens and rockets.

The reports strongly confirm the support to Iran’s view. These protests are real. They show that even in wartime, some Israelis bravely speak against their leaders. They demand change. Whether these voices grow stronger or get silenced, will shape what happens next in the Middle East. Peace needs courage from all sides. Leaders should be ready to talk and people should be ready to push for it.
