An-Najah News - Thousands of Israeli protesters demonstrated across Israel for the fifth week demanding long-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down over corruption charges along with his failure in handling the coronavirus pandemic in what appeared to be the largest yet demonstration of a growing protest movement seeking Netanyahu’s resignation.
An Israeli occupation police spokesman told Israeli reporters that around 5,000 demonstrators were at the site of the protest and protests were also staged in Tel Aviv, Caesarea and other locations.
Following what some have described as a hasty reopening of the country's economy in May, new daily infections in Israel have spiked to an average of 2,000 a day.
