From Saturday to Tuesday, thousands of Israelis protested, in front of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, demanding his resignation.
Placards carried by protestors read “Netanyahu’s corruption makes us sick” and “Netanyahu, resign”.
Israel not only experiences a surge in coronavirus cases with the health ministry recording more than 1,400 new cases in the past 24 hours but its economy also struggles with an unemployment rate above 20 percent.
After lifting some COVID-19 restrictions at the end of May, the Israeli government announced new restrictions last week.
Protester Laurent Cige, coming from Tel Aviv to take part in the protests in Jerusalem told AFP news agency, “The most deadly virus is not COVID-19, but corruption.”
Israeli law states that a prime minister is only needed to resign if convicted of a criminal offense with all court appeals worn out, which in the case of Prime Minister Netanyahu could take many years.
