More than 40 protest centers were opened this evening (Saturday) across the country, where crowds of protesters are taking part who are calling, even tonight, for a change of government and setting a date for elections.
The main rally takes place on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv.
"The government of disasters and failures - you are not worthy, take to the streets," the organizers said in their announcement.
At this time, some demonstrators went down to Ayalon North Road and blocked it for vehicle traffic.
The protestors stand on the road and shout: "We will not give up, until it gets better."
Police forces are on the scene.
Ahead of the demonstration, the protest group "Lochmi Kippur '73", which is behind the campaign against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - "You are the head, you are guilty", earlier staged a display simulating a tank in Kaplan.
At the same time, dozens of people are already protesting at the Science Junction in Rehovot.
