Anti-government, pro-hostages protest march moves from Knesset to Netanyahu’s home

Thousands of anti-government, pro-hostage deal protesters are marching to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Jerusalem following a mass rally outside the Knesset.

Demonstrators from across the country flocked to the capital this morning to protest the resumption of fighting in Gaza and Netanyahu’s attempts to sack Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.

Activists leading the march hold a large banner that reads: “Enough of the government of destruction” as they proceed down Ben Zvi Boulevard toward the Rehavia neighborhood.

Police close the road to traffic in one direction, but cars headed the other way demonstration are at a standstill.

“Why is he still here, why are they still there?” protesters chant, referring to Netanyahu and the hostages, respectively.

Police brought out a water cannon but have not used it against protesters.
