TEL AVIV, Sunday, February 14, 2021 (WAFA) - Hundreds of Israeli protesters gathered for the 34th week last night outside the official residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in occupied Jerusalem, demanding his resignation.

Another main demonstration was also held outside Netanyahu’s private home in the coastal city of Caesaria. Smaller protests took place at highway overpasses and junctions around the country. Several hundred demonstrators gathered in each of the locations in Paris Square in occupied Jerusalem and in Caesaria.

Other smaller protests saw Israeli protesters demonstrating against Netanyahu at intersections and overpasses.

Near Kiryat Ono outside Tel Aviv, Israeli media said a woman threatened demonstrators with a plastic gun. The woman fled in a vehicle which was later stopped and arrested by police.

In Rishon Letzion, protestors reported a man assaulted them and tore down signs.

The Black Flags protest group, who has led the demonstrations, said that rocks were thrown toward demonstrators in Netanya, as well as at a vehicle near the town of Daburiyya, causing property damage.

The protesters have been gathering each week for over seven months, saying Netanyahu should step down because of his corruption trial and what they say is mismanagement of the country’s coronavirus crisis.

The protesters say Netanyahu cannot serve as prime minister when he is on trial for charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases. His trial is set to resume this week.
