The protesters also want the government to negotiate an agreement to release the hostages being held of Hamas in Gaza.
During the demonstration, some participants carried pictures of female soldiers recently kidnapped by Hamas. Signs with texts such as “Stop the war” and “Help” were seen in the crowd.
The protest resulted in seven arrests and at least one person injured, according to Haaretz newspaper.
Israel's attack on Gaza has resulted in 36,000 dead Palestinians, many women and children, according to Gaza's health ministry. Many more are believed to be buried under the ruins.
Several European countries have recognized Palestine as a state and the International Criminal Court has requested the arrests of both Israeli and Hamas leaders.
At the same time, the International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to end its military offensive in Rafah and to open the border to humanitarian aid.
Despite this, bombing continued on Saturday, with reports of several deaths in Gaza.
