Hundreds of protesters are gathered at Ben Gurion Airport’s arrivals hall to demonstrate against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he takes off for the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Protesters rally both against the government and for a deal to bring hostages home, waving Israeli flags and yellow banners. Signs rail against Netanyahu’s nomination of David Zini as head of the Shin Bet security service, amid concerns from activists that he will act as a rubber stamp for the premier.

Several demonstrators wear orange jumpsuits adorned with signs calling for Netanyahu to be jailed, posing alongside other protesters dressed as Gulf sheikhs waving around wads of cash, a reference to allegations of covert dealings between Netanyahu’s office and Qatar.
