Thousands of Israelis Demonstrate Against Netanyahu

Thousands of Israelis marched across the country last night, Saturday, to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy on his handling of the coronavirus crisis and the corruption allegations he denies.

The Israeli channel “13” reported, tonight, Saturday, that thousands of Israeli protesters flocked to public squares to protest against Netanyahu’s policy towards the Corona pandemic and the high rates of infection with the virus among the Israeli people.

These protests came just three days after parliament passed a law to limit the scope of such demonstrations, while most of the protests tonight were small and scattered across the country, despite crowds gathering. That included thousands in Tel Aviv.

The Israeli channel reported on its website that clashes broke out between protesters and police, and they attempted to shut down the city’s streets, injuring protesters, including Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, while police detained about 15 protesters.
