Hundreds of anti-government protesters gather at bridges, traffic junctions

Crowds of anti-government protesters are expected to gather tonight outside the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem and outside his private home in Caesarea.

Hundreds are already demonstrating at bridges and traffic junctions around the country, Ynet reported.

The “Black Flag” anti-corruption group says this is the eighth consecutive organized demonstration in the recent wave of protests, and that it expected gatherings at some 300 locations.

The organizers address Netanyahu’s historic normalization deal with the UAE, writing, “while the prime minister is busy arranging flights to pools in Abu Dhabi for himself, the people of Israel are collapsing from the failure to manage the economic and health crises. No flights to the Gulf, jobs in Israel!”

Hundreds gathered Friday at protests against Netanyahu, saying the deal would not deter them.

Last Saturday tens of thousands took part in protests across the country.

The demonstrators are demanding Netanyahu resign due to his indictment on corruption charges, and are calling for better management of the coronavirus crisis and its economic fallout.
