The demonstrators carry red and black flags and signs that read: "Change the system, citizens are writing a constitution," "Corrupt people are fed up," "Saving the country is fighting corruption," and "No closure without prior compensation."
Some of the protesters are sitting on the road in Paris Square and meditating.
Artist and illustrator Zeev Engelmeier was spotted among the protesters dressed as a woman. Engelmeier was arrested last week and claimed that severe violence had been used against him and that tests had been carried out against him at will. Hundreds also came to demonstrate in Caesarea, near the prime minister's house there.
