Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies': Thousands call for peace at Tel Aviv rally

Thousands of people gathered in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square over the weekend to encourage an end to hostilities through peace negotiations between Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian unity government.

The protest's organizers said that the turnout Saturday night was as high as 10,000 people, while Israeli media said that just "thousands" were involved in the protest, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Participants rallied under the slogan: "Changing direction: toward peace, away from war."

Several protesters were chanting, "Bibi go home," according to JPost.
