At least 38 people had been detained for disrupting public order by early afternoon, according to the Israeli police.The streets of central Tel Aviv, usually clogged with office workers on the first day of Israel\u2019s workweek, were strikingly empty on Sunday. But it was unclear how many people had joined the day of action that had been planned ahead of an evening protest. The country\u2019s largest labor association, the Histadrut, has declined to throw its weight behind the strike. And while some universities said they would participate, the strike was taking place during the academic summer break.The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents relatives of some of the captives, said on Sunday night that more than 400,000 people joined the evening protest in and around a Tel Aviv plaza known as Hostages Square.Want to stay updated on what\u2019s happening in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip?

The debate over how to bring them back has split Israeli society, pitting many of the hostage families and their allies against Mr. Netanyahu and his government.Arbel Yehud, an Israeli hostage freed in an exchange during a cease-fire, addressed Mr. Netanyahu at a demonstration in Tel Aviv and demanded he reach an accord with Hamas immediately for the sake of the remaining captives.\u201cThe only way to bring them back is through a deal, all at once, without games,\u201d said Ms. Yehud, whose partner, Ariel Cunio, is among the hostages still held in Gaza.ImageA demonstration in Tel Aviv on Sunday. The day of protest came as Israeli forces geared up to expand their offensive throughout the Palestinian enclaveCredit...Ohad Zwigenberg\/Associated PressMr. Netanyahu and his coalition partners have argued that bringing home the remaining captives cannot come at the expense of decisively routing Hamas. The Palestinian armed group attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people \u2014 mostly civilians \u2014 seizing around 250 hostages, and igniting the war in Gaza.He struck a similar line on Sunday in a statement that obliquely referred to the day\u2019s demonstrations.\u201cThose who are calling today for an end to the war without defeating Hamas, are not only hardening Hamas\u2019s stance and pushing off the release of our hostages, they are also ensuring that the horrors of Oct. 7 will recur again and again,\u201d Mr. Netanyahu said.The subsequent Israeli campaign against Hamas has killed more than 60,000 people in Gaza, according to local health officials, who do not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel has also faced mounting global outrage over the dire conditions in Gaza. The Israeli military has razed large swaths of the enclave and at times tightly restricted the entry of aid, causing widespread hunger.Despite mounting domestic and international pressure, Mr. Netanyahu has warned that the Israeli military will invade Gaza City again in the coming weeks unless Hamas lays down its arms. The proposal has been roundly criticized inside and outside of Israel. Palestinians and foreign leaders say it will prolong the war and the suffering of Palestinian civilians. And the families of the remaining hostages fear their loved ones could be killed in the Israeli advance.\u201cMilitary pressure doesn\u2019t bring hostages back \u2014 it only kills them,\u201d Ms. Yehud said on Sunday at the demonstration in Tel Aviv.Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s allies were quick to assail the pro-hostage rallies as a boon to Hamas. Bezalel Smotrich, Israel\u2019s far-right finance minister, labeled them \u201cbad and harmful,\u201d while another lawmaker from Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s Likud party said they were \u201criots in support of Hamas.\u201d\u201cA nation that wants to live cannot surrender to its enemies and stop the war just before the destruction of Hamas,\u201d Mr. Smotrich wrote on social media.On a main road leading to the protests\u2019 center, cars gave way to streams of demonstrators opposite the Israeli military\u2019s headquarters.Lishay Miran-Lavi, the wife of the Israeli hostage Omri Miran, was in the crowd at the protest at Hostages Square. She said the protesters hoped to send a clear message \u2014 that Israelis \u201cwant the hostages back and the end of the war\u201d in Gaza. But she conceded that more than 22 months of street demonstrations had yet to secure that goal.\u201cTo say that this is what will help,\u201d she said, \u201cI don\u2019t know that it will.\u201dEphrat Livni contributed reporting.Aaron Boxerman is a Times reporter covering Israel and Gaza.
