Thousands of Israelis protest Netanyahu’s handling of coronavirus pandemic As the demonstrating was ending, there were small scuffles between police and some protesters.
Late Tuesday, several hundred protesters marched through central Jerusalem, with some blocking the city’s light rail. Police said they were on the scene and trying to restore order.Netanyahu is currently on trial for a series of cases in which he allegedly received lavish gifts from billionaire friends and traded regulatory favours with media moguls for more favourable coverage of himself and his family.
He denies wrongdoing and has doggedly refused to step down, lashing out at the media, the judiciary and law enforcement, which he says are engaged in a witch-hunt against.
