Protesters march toward Netanyahu’s home, spread through Jerusalem neighborhoods
A march from the Knesset led by the hostage families and anti-government protesters calling for a hostage deal heads to Netanyahu’s private home on Azza Street.
Marchers split into multiple directions throughout Jerusalem’s Rehavia neighborhood to reach the home and the nearby official Prime Minister’s Residence.
Police efforts to erect barricades have so far been unsuccessful at guiding the protest march, and organizers are urging participants to run as quickly as they can to evade crowd control measures.
At least one group finds its way to the Talbieh neighborhood, apparently bypassing the normal rally spot at Paris Square, banging drums and blowing horns in an outpouring of anger against Netanyahu and the government.
