Anti-government protesters start gathering near PM’s residence for rally

Police block roads near the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem, as protesters against the premier’s handling of the coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout gather for another rally.

Supporters of Netanyahu are also demonstrating, and police are separating the two groups and getting them away from the entrance to the official residence.

Police are deployed with increased force in the area, since many thousands are expected to attend.

Previous rallies have ended in violent clashes and mutual accusations between protesters and police.
