Israel is in chaos after six hostages held in Gaza since October were found dead, fueling mass protests and a nationwide strike. The strike threatened to bring the economy to a standstill as demonstrators demanded a truce deal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite public outcry and pressure on Netanyahu to change course, the government won a bid to end the strike in court. Protesters accused the government of abandoning the hostages by failing to negotiate a cease-fire with Hamas. The fate of the hostages has caused widespread anger and frustration among the Israeli public. Israel has been isolated and deeply divided by the ongoing war, with no immediate resolution in sight. Overall, the situation in Israel remains tense and uncertain as the nation grapples with the aftermath of the hostage crisis.
