Dozens of Netanyahu-backers protest outside Mandelblit’s home

Several dozen supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have returned to a street corner near Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit’s Petah Tikva home to protest legal probes against the premier.

The corner, once a bastion of anti-Netanyahu protesters pushing for the prime minister to be charged, has in recent weeks become the scene of rallies by Netanyahu backers as a decision on an indictment nears.

Mandelblit is expected to decide in the coming weeks whether to indict Netanyahu in three criminal cases.

Protesters chant slogans accusing state prosecutor Shai Nitzan of “destroying democracy.”

The protest comes hours after Justice Minister Amir Ohana called a press conference to launch a biting attack on the prosecution, accusing it of undermining the state.
