Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks his supporters who came to a solidarity rally last night in Tel Aviv.
“You moved me, but I have one request: It’s important to act responsibly, within the bounds of the law, without over-zealousness or violence,” Netanyahu says in a video.
“We respect the law and the courts — I’m sure justice will be served,” he adds.
Last night, thousands of people gathered in downtown Tel Aviv in a show of support for the prime minister, five days after Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced criminal charges against him.
Netanyahu and his spokesperson insisted after the rally that 15,000 people had attended, but at the time, the Tel Aviv municipality estimated turnout to be between 2,000 and 5,000.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
