The biggest war-related protest movement in Israel, named "Bring Them Home Now" and aims for the return of the hostages, has demonstrated on a weekly basis in Tel Aviv near the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) headquarters. Jewish Israeli anti-war activists have been targeted by far-right groups, while Arab Israelis have experienced a crackdown on free speech, with individuals arrested for social media posts and likes. By 22 December 2023, 67% of Israelis supported a ceasefire in exchange for the return of hostages held by Hamas.
