Israeli police arrested at least eight people at mass protests outside the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday night, Al Jazeera reports, citing the Haaretz newspaper.

Three people were also wounded during the antigovernment protests, which saw tens of thousands converge on the city calling for new elections, a ceasefire deal in Gaza, and a captive release deal.

The protests are part of a “Week of Resistance” organised by antigovernment protesters in Israel that will see nationwide demonstrations take place over the next several days.

Pressure is mounting on Netanyahu, with protests coming following the resignation of opposition politicians Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot from Israel’s war cabinet over the prime minister’s handling of the offensive on Gaza.
