A series of demonstrations and protests are expected tonight (Saturday) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and government corruption, for the 34th week in a row.
At the center of the protest events tonight, two main demonstrations: in front of the prime minister's residence on Balfour Street in Jerusalem and near the Netanyahu family home in Caesarea.
These demonstrations were preceded by a series of smaller protests at intersections, bridges and interchanges across the country.
In preparation for the demonstration in Jerusalem, the police deployed forces in the area of Paris Square, Gaza Street, Ben Maimon and the nearby streets.
Ben Maimon, Gaza, Paris Square, Agron, King George and Keren Hayesod streets were blocked to traffic, and later more streets leading to these streets will be blocked.
Many demonstrators reported incidents of violence during demonstrations at intersections across the country.
According to protesters, a young woman threatened protesters with a gun in Kiryat Ono.
"A girl stopped the vehicle in the middle of the intersection, and threatened to shoot the protesters. I filed a complaint with the police with the vehicle number," said one of the protesters at the scene, Avi Shmueli.

The smashing of a car window in the town of Dvira near Be'er Sheva, verbal violence against demonstrators in Herzliya, and stone-throwing in Netanya were also reported.
In Rishon Lezion, a street brawl broke out between protesters and supporters of Netanyahu, who arrived at the Rabin junction, where several activists demonstrated.
"Suddenly, Bibi's supporters came to our intersection and started tearing down flags and beating two activists who were demonstrating," said one of the protesters, Rosie Keidar.
"A police car has arrived and they are filing a complaint. This is the first time there has been physical violence at our intersection. We have become accustomed to cursing, but we will not pass over violence in silence."
What are the demonstrations about?
The demonstrators are protesting against Netanyahu's continued tenure at the same time as being charged with crimes, 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 case), 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. 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.
In return, according to the indictment, Elovich acted to skew the coverage on the Walla!
NEWS, which was under his control.
