Anti-Netanyahu protesters hold weekly rally in Jerusalem amid national lockdown

A few thousand protesters are rallying in Jerusalem for the weekly demonstration against Prime Minister Netanyahu, amid a nationwide lockdown aimed at curbing the coronavirus pandemic.

Police divided up the area outside the Prime Minister’s Residence into socially distanced “capsules,” but video from the protest shows demonstrators largely appearing to ignore them, though some instead stand apart on chalk markings drawn by protesters.

According to Channel 12 news, a man was arrested for calling for people to disobey the virus restrictions.
