Nobel laureate Prof Aaron Ciechanover joined a group of prominent Israelis gathered in the ruins of the Nir Oz kibbutz to demand a hostage release and ceasefire deal.

He cited an accelerating “brain drain’ of doctors and other professionals as a worrying sign that some of Israel ’s elite already feel they no longer have a future in the country.

After Hamas -led militants killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, some Israelis felt failed by a state and army that had promised security.

Others felt their social contract with the state had broken down, as they sent their children to die as soldiers while tens of thousands of ultra-orthodox men were exempted from military service.

Dror Sadot and her partner decided to speed up their planned departure after the war started.
