Thousands of Israelis resumed their weekly protest Sunday outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence in central
JERUSALEM, despite a new nationwide lockdown order aimed at curbing a raging
Coronavirus outbreak.
An exception allowing people to hold public demonstrations was included in the three-week lockdown imposed last Friday.
Thousands of Israelis have participated in the
protests throughout the summer, calling on Netanyahu to resign while he is on trial for corruption charges and accusing him of bungling the country’s coronavirus crisis.
