Hundreds of Israelis, both Arabs and Jews, marched in central Tel Aviv on Saturday to protest against the blockade imposed by the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip.
Shouting slogans such as "liberty and justice for Gaza", the demonstrators described Israel's invasion on Gaza as war crime.
They called on the regime's cabinet to respond the Goldeston's report over the war crimes Israeli forces committed during the 22-day war.
Demonstrators also urged the Egypt's government to halt construction of a steel wall on the country's border with the Gaza Strip.
On Thursday, hundreds of people including international activists held a similar protest on both sides of the Erez crossing between the occupied Palestine and the Gaza Strip.
Among the protesters were a group of anti-Zionist religious Jews clad in traditional ultra-Orthodox clothing and holding signs that read: "Judaism yes, Zionism no... State of Israel must go."
The Erez crossing is the main entry and exit point to and from Gaza used by medical patients, journalists, diplomats and aid groups.
The events coincide with the one-year anniversary of Israel's 22-day invasion on Gaza which left about 1,400 Palestinians martyred.
A further 100,000 Gazan residents were left homeless in the wake of the Israeli onslaught.
The Gaza Strip has been under the Zionist regime's blockade since 2007.
