Anti -Government Protest In Jerusalem As Hamas Considers US-Backed Cease-Fire Deal

JERUSALEM - MAY 31: A Religious Jew counter-protester holds a sign that reads "Only Shema Yisrael can defeat Allahu Akbar" (referring to Jewish prayer) during a demonstration held by anti-government protesters near the official residence of PM Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of working to thwart a ceasefire deal for the release of captives held in Gaza and calling to stop the war on May 31, 2025 in Jerusalem. The weekly protest here came as Hamas was considering a new ceasefire proposal backed by the US special envoy Steve Witkoff. The deal would see the release of 10 living Israeli hostages and return 18 bodies, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, among other terms governing Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza.
