Hundreds of anti-Netanyahu protesters at annual Ben-Gurion memorial event

Several hundred anti-Netanyahu protesters have gathered at Kibbutz Sde Boker in the south to protest against the prime minister, who is set to speak there in the annual memorial service for Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion.

A video shows Ben-Gurion’s grandson Yariv Ben-Eliezer saying ahead of the event: “F**k Netanyahu, and long live Israel.”

Cars carrying the demonstrators drove to the kibbutz where Ben-Gurion spent his final years, with activists saying Netanyahu has failed to live up to the values of Israel’s legendary first leader.
