Jerusalem: Over a thousand people continued their protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, gathering near his official Jerusalem residence to demand his resignation.
The protesters have been demonstrating 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.
At Saturday's demonstration, some carried giant inflatable submarines, alluding to a $2 billion purchase of German submarines that critics allege Netanyahu was implicated in.
Others held a large green inflatable virus, and signs reading "Crime Minister."
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.
They also accuse him of mismanaging the coronavirus crisis, with unemployment in double digits after a series of nationwide lockdowns.
The country is in the midst of its third lockdown, despite one of the world's most successful vaccination campaigns.
Israel is preparing to hold new elections on March 23.
