Last Wednesday, dozens of people demonstrated in front of the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem, in protest of the postponement of the hearing in Netanyahu's trial, due to the Corona closure imposed since the beginning of the week.

The protesters carried torches and read excerpts from the indictment against the prime minister.

Nine of them were arrested or detained for questioning on suspicion of disorderly conduct.



The "Prime Minister" movement accused Netanyahu of postponing the debate under the auspices of the closure.

"We arrived this morning to remind the defendant that he could not continue to destroy the country and evade trial. If he does not come to court to hear the charges against him, the charges will reach him," they said.

"Bibi, the incitement and lies of you and your soldiers to the criminal organization will not deter us. We are determined to cleanse the country of your corruption and mismanagement and we will continue to demonstrate against you legally, the closest at any time and in any situation."

What are the demonstrations about?

The demonstrators are protesting against Netanyahu's continued tenure at the same time as being charged with a crime, claiming, among other things, that he cannot separate his personal and legal good from his political decisions.

The prime minister is charged with three counts.



In the 1000 case

(the benefit benefits affair), Netanyahu is accused of receiving benefits worth about NIS 700,000 from businessmen Arnon Milchen and James Packer, while he served as prime minister.

The main gifts were cigars, champagne packages and jewelry.



In addition, it was alleged that Netanyahu acted in Milchen's favor in three matters, in which the businessman sought his intervention: he approached US Secretary of State John Kerry to extend the businessman's visa, he approached Finance Minister Yair Lapid to extend the exemption. A tax for returning residents, and he worked to promote a merger of "Keshet" and "Reshet" - ostensibly at Milchen's request.

According to the lawsuit, these acts damaged the image of the public service and the public's trust in it.

fraud and breach of trust

The 2000 case

(the Netanyahu-Mozes affair) deals with talks between Netanyahu and Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Noni Mozes. The person who offered the deal is Mozes, so he is accused of bribery. On the other hand, the ombudsman was also convinced that Netanyahu did not intend to complete the bribe deal, but continued the talks with Mozes to improve his coverage in the Yedioth group, and there are certain actions to do so.
