00:00 Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets on Sunday in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv
00:07 to challenge the Israeli government's handling of the war in Gaza.
00:13 Demonstrators called for a ceasefire deal to ensure the release of hostages, as well
00:17 as early elections, nearly two years ahead of schedule.
00:22 "The call for elections now, at the height of the war, a moment before victory, will
00:30 silence Israel for at least half a year, for eight months.
00:36 They will silence the negotiations to release our hostages, they will bring to an end the
00:40 war before the fulfillment of its goal.
00:42 And the first to be blessed will be Hamas, and that's the whole story."
00:48 Israeli troops have raided Gaza's largest hospital, Shifa Hospital, for nearly two weeks
00:54 and claim to have killed senior Hamas operatives.
00:57 But Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry claim that more than 100 patients there remain without
01:04 potable water and septic wounds.
01:07 Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority swore in its new cabinet on Sunday.
