Hundreds of people gathered on a major thoroughfare in Caesarea near the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, holding signs and chanting for his resignation. The protest, which took place on Saturday night, is one of several marches in recent weeks. One local protester from Caesarea, named Hannah Zeisel, told the "Times of Israel": "The protests aim to increase pressure on him to call for new elections."
Additionally, a number of demonstrators gathered outside the "Kirya" Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv to protest the Netanyahu government for various reasons. The prevailing message of the main protest on Kaplan Street outside the Sarona shopping center was for early elections and the removal of the current government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Nearby, a group of veterans from the 1973 war stood by a tank model calling for an end to draft exemptions for students from extremist religious schools.
At the entrance of Kirya on Begin Street, a demonstration was organized by a group of brothers and sisters and arms, a reserve group that was among the leaders of last year's anti-judicial reform protests, demanding the release of hostages held by "Hamas."
According to Israeli media, there is a significant police presence throughout the area, with police fortifying large parts of Begin and Kaplan streets, as well as some exits leading to the Ayalon Highway to prevent protesters from blocking this road, as they do every week.
