Shikma Schwartzman of the "Black Flags" organization said that "hundreds of thousands of people are fighting at bridges and intersections for the democracy and the future of us all. No one can cast votes below the blocking percentage."

She said, "When the house is on fire, there is no time for ego games. Join hands, crowd the ranks and bring hope to our bleeding country."



Schwartzman added that "we are all groaning under the burden of quarantine. The traces of failed treatment in Corona cannot be obscured: one million unemployed, hundreds of thousands of businesses closed, over 4,000 dead, a 300% increase in domestic violence assistance and suicide rates. We deserve a proper Knesset, Promise it. "

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.

In this case, Netanyahu is accused of

fraud and breach of trust

The 2000 case

(the Netanyahu-Mozes affair) deals with talks between Netanyahu and Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Noni Mozes. In those talks, the two allegedly discussed the benefit of the prime minister's coverage of the Yedioth group, in exchange for imposing restrictions on the newspaper's main competitor - Israel Today. 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.

Case 4000

(Bezeq-Walla affair) The most serious case for the prime minister concerns regulatory benefits worth hundreds of millions of shekels, which Netanyahu allegedly granted to Elowitz.
