The demonstrators against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will return to Balfour tonight (Saturday), probably for the last time, when the protest becomes a demonstration of support for the change government.
This, more than a year after the demonstrations began in March 2020.
Dozens of "black flags" demonstrators have already begun to visit bridges across the country.
The movement said that "the State of Israel is one step ahead of a new direction for which we have been fighting for over a year. The new government would not have been possible without the hundreds of thousands who went out and fought every week for Israeli democracy. This is a time for unity.
Tomorrow at 16:00, the time when the swearing-in of the new government is expected to take place, another demonstration of support will take place outside the Knesset, organized by "activists" and other protest organizations.
The organizers also said that they later plan to hold "mass celebrations" in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv.

What are the demonstrations about?
The demonstrators protested against Netanyahu's continued tenure while being charged with crimes, claiming, among other things, that he could not 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 on three issues, 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,

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 proposed 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 some actions for that.

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. In this case,
