[Israel] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 14 April 2025, Israelis protested outside of the home of Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman in Rehovot (HaMerkaz), calling on the government to secure the release of all hostages remaining in Gaza. As part of the protest, protesters laid out pita bread on the road, spelling 'one pita a day,' referring to the little amount of food that hostages in Gaza are eating. The pita aspect of the protest also referred to Silman's departure from former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's government over the so-called 'Chametz Law,' a law regarding the consumption and selling of leavened bread during Passover.
