Over 600 former Israeli security and intelligence officials, including ex-heads of Mossad and the internal security agency, have called on U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene and urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the ongoing war in Gaza. The group, representing the movement "Leaders for Israel's Security," stated in an open letter that the military objectives in Gaza have been achieved and that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel. They emphasized the need to stop the conflict and facilitate the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza. Meanwhile, protests supporting Gaza and opposing Israel's military actions have been held worldwide, including demonstrations near Trump's hotel in New York City and large gatherings in London, where police have made arrests amid calls to end what protesters describe as a war of starvation and occupation in Gaza. The Israeli government, led by Netanyahu, continues to push for a full conquest of Gaza despite these appeals.
