PROTEST AGAINST NETANYAHU IN TEL AVIV, JERUSALEM
Thousands of Israelis are rallying in the streets of Tel Aviv calling
on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign over alleged corruption for the
fourth consecutive week, while hundreds more gathered in Jerusalem for the
first time in an anti-corruption demonstration.
Israeli Police said several thousand people massed in central Tel Aviv
on Saturday in the latest protest against the premier. Several hundred more attended
a right-wing anti-corruption rally in Jerusalem, with speeches headlined by
former defense minister Moshe Yaalon. Protesters in Jerusalem held signs
reading "not right, not left, just straight."
Police have questioned Netanyahu at least seven times, investigating
two corruption allegations surrounding the four-term Israeli leader.
They have said they suspect him of being involved in bribery, fraud and
breach of trust. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing.
