Several anti-Netanyahu protesters chain themselves to fence outside PM’s residence
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEight protesters calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign have chained themselves to a fence outside his official residence in Jerusalem.
The police have said that thousands of pro-Netanyahu demonstrators will gather in central Jerusalem this afternoon. They have asked protesters in an anti-Netanyahu encampment to leave, which they are refusing to do, or be removed by force.
Former Shin Bet director Carmi Gilon, who joined the anti-Netanyahu protest today, says he is willing to be arrested, rather than allow the encampment to be dispersed.
