Since they were not allowed to do so in Jerusalem, they were diverted from the main roads, a police spokesman said. In addition, the nuisance of residents should be "minimized" in this way. People also protested in front of Netanyahu's private mansion north of Tel Aviv and by the thousands at intersections and bridges over highways across the country.
Numerous rallies have been accompanying the corruption process against the head of government for weeks. He is charged with fraud, breach of trust and corruption. Netanyahu has also been criticized for its handling of the corona crisis. The 70-year-old admitted, among other things, premature easing. Unemployment in Israel is more than 20 percent.
