Thousands of Israelis continued their demonstrations on Saturday in various Israeli regions, calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, due to the corruption cases haunting him and his handling of the Corona pandemic.
Thousands of Israelis gathered in front of Netanyahu's residence in occupied Jerusalem and displayed huge messages on one of the buildings at the protest site saying "Your time is up." They called on Netanyahu to resign due to what they describe as his failure to protect jobs and companies that have been affected by the epidemic.
The official Kan channel reported that about 10 thousand Israelis demonstrated in front of Netanyahu's residence in the city of Jerusalem, and thousands of others demonstrated in front of his home in the city of Caesarea (north). Tel.
The demonstrators demanded Netanyahu's immediate resignation, chanting slogans such as "This is a war on corruption" and "This is a protest for the restoration of democracy," and the demonstrators called for condemning Netanyahu and his government.
On the other hand, Netanyahu, who was sworn in for a fifth term as prime minister last May after elections in which he won a slim majority, accuses protesters of not respecting democracy and the Israeli media of encouraging opposition.
Protests have escalated dangerously recently against Netanyahu, who is accused of bribery, breach of trust and fraud, in 3 corruption cases, and Netanyahu's trial began on May 24, and the trial is expected to take between two and three years, according to estimates published in Israeli newspapers.
