Israel protests: BBC News Review

Tens of thousands of Israelis have taken part in the country’s biggest anti-government protest since the 7th October attack by Hamas. The protesters want Prime Minister Netanyahu to resign for failing to bring home the remaining 130 Israeli hostages still in Gaza. It’s not known how many are still alive. Netanyahu says he’s doing everything he can and intends to remain as prime minister. Around 33,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of Israel’s military response to the attack, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Hi, Georgia! Your lessons are very meaningful, but I have one problem. Could you please speak louder when you are reporting? I feel your volume is very soft compared to other hosts, and I have difficulty understanding what you are talking about, especially on the podcast. Thank you so much! ❤💞

Wearing your jewellery at streets in the evening to have them on show is not wise decision. You can play into bad guys hands and give them a chance to rob you.

Why it is not 'as protestors demand he ( goes )'

[@bf04]

it should be like that: demand+ someone+ infinitive verb. In this sentence verb is to demand, not to go. So, we don't have to add anything to it.

[@BWHarchive]

Ryan and Tim were comedians and both hated each other , after Ryan 's controversial statement went *on show* in the public , **he was put against the wall*and was then *playing into Tim's hands*.

'moving away from the horrors of war, a more everyday situation, if my boss asks me to work in the evenings, it means I can't spend time with my family.' What do you mean?

The sadness is on show in Israel and Palestine. The spiral of overpowering dynamics are putting them all up against a wall. The arrogance, coupled with short mindedness, is playing into Armageddon's hands.
