National Unity party leader and former defense minister MK Benny Gantz arrives at a major anti-government protest in Tel Aviv with several police officers surrounding him.

Some in the crowd cheer as he arrives. Gantz thanks an onlooker who says it’s good to see him at the rally.

“Don’t sit with him Gantz,” shouts a man from the crowd, referring to reports that the former minister may join Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government.

“I am standing here,” Gantz responds.
