Thousands expected to mass at Netanyahu residences in latest protests

Thousands of protesters are expected to attend anti-government rallies outside Netanyahu’s official residence in Jerusalem, and his private home in Caesarea.

So-called Black Flag demonstrations are expected to be held on some 260 bridges and intersections across the country.

Recent weeks have seen near-daily demonstrations against Netanyahu due to his criminal indictment for corruption, and to protest his handling of the coronavirus and accompanying economic crisis.

Last Saturday’s protest, the largest anti-Netanyahu Jerusalem rally to date, saw some 10,000 people attend, police said.
