Protesters begin gathering in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv after Gallant fired
Hundreds of people begin gathering in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to protest the firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Channel 12 shows police setting up barricades near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem and outside IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.
An attempt by Netanyahu to fire Gallant last year over his opposition to the judicial overhaul last year brought tens of thousands of people to the streets, ultimately forcing Netanyahu to back down.
