Anti-Netanyahu protesters harass Likud minister, hurl fertilizer at the Knesset

Anti-government protesters chased a Likud minister outside the Knesset, calling him “garbage” and “corrupt,” Channel 12 reports.

The incident took place when MK Dudi Amsalem walked from the parliament to the nearby Finance Ministry. Protesters ran after him, shouting slogans until security intervened and shut the gates to the ministry so the activists could not enter the building after Amsalem, the report says, describing the minister as shaken by the encounter.

The demonstrators also brought sacks of fertilizer to the Knesset, hurling it in fistfuls at the parliament while shouting, “This is the symbol of the stench of corruption,” the network says.

During that protest, police detained two for questioning.
