      Haaretz photographer detained, protesters in Eilat say they were pepper sprayed ■ Near the prime minister’s official residence, one says ’The next political murder is written on the wall’

      More than 10,000 protesters gathered on Saturday outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence, and thousands more across the country in demonstrations against the government for the fourth week in a row.

      Police in Jerusalem attempted to bring the demonstration to an end shortly after midnight by airing an announcement over loudspeakers. Police started evacuating protesters from the area around the residence around half an hour later.

      Calls to leave the protest zone after midnight often preceded more severe clashes between protesters and law enforcement at previous demonstrations, and some feared violence before the protest started – but the demonstration ended quickly, after an apparently firm police operation. Three were arrested for “disturbing the peace,” the police later said in a statement.

      Haaretz photographer Ohad Zwigenberg was briefly detained. He was released after being confined for 20 minutes to a bus rented to carry away detained protesters.

      In the southern city of Eilat, protesters said they were pepper sprayed, while a police unit in the area said it noticed “something in the air” that soon subsided. Protesters said about 10 of them felt their eyes burn after being sprayed from inside a car and did not see the perpetrator.

      The protests demanding that Netanyahu resign over his corruption charges have been notable for their relative intensity and allegations of police misconduct, as well as violent assaults on protesters who say their aggressors were right-wing extremists.

      One protester in Jerusalem on Saturday, Liat Levy, told Haaretz: “The next political murder is written on the wall.” Referring to an interview with the murderer of a left-wing activist, she said, “We all heard Yona Avrushmi calling us ‘germs’ yesterday, and that’s the message Netanyahu signaled, and there are those who may get ideas. ... It’s only a matter of time until a protester is hurt.”

      Netanyahu’s Likud party on Saturday called the protests “left-wing riots” and accused Israel’s Channel 12 News of “doing everything it can to encourage the far-left demonstrations” of the premier’s opponents, after it aired an interview with Benny Gantz.

      Some 10,000 people participated in last Saturday’s protest at the prime minister’s official residence in Jerusalem, with 12 protesters being arrested. Earlier that week, five protesters were injured after being attacked, allegedly by far-right counter demonstrators, including with broken glass bottles.

      Netanyahu said this week that the ongoing protests “are being organized at luxury hotels towers” and doubled down on his claims that they are being led by “anarchists.” The prime minister further alleged that the protests “are funded by left-wing foundations and receive disproportionate support from the media.” He has also continuously complained of uncontrolled incitement against him, including what he has said are daily death threats against him and his family and that the media are supportive of the protests “at North Korean” levels. He has also accused protesters of being “coronavirus incubators.”

      Meanwhile, this week Facebook removed three fake accounts that were pretending to be anti-government protest activists and uploaded content inciting against Netanyahu.

    • Thousands throng central Jerusalem in anti-Netanyahu protest

      JERUSALEM (AP) — Thousands of demonstrators thronged the streets near the official residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in central Jerusalem on Saturday night, in a renewed show of strength as weeks of protests against the Israeli leader showed no signs of slowing.

      Throughout the summer, thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets to call on Netanyahu to resign, protesting his handling of the country’s coronavirus crisis and saying he should not remain in office while on trial for corruption charges. Self-employed workers whose businesses have been hurt by the economic crisis also joined Saturday’s march.

      Though Netanyahu has tried to downplay the protests, the gatherings only appear to be getting stronger.

      In Jerusalem on Saturday, protesters held Israeli flags, blew horns and chanted slogans against Netanyahu. Some held posters that said “Crime Minister” or called him “out of touch.” A large banner projected onto a nearby building said “Balfour is in our hands,” a reference to the street where Netanyahu lives.

      The demonstrators accuse Netanyahu of corruption and say that he and the country’s bloated coalition government have failed to recognize the suffering of its citizens.

      Israeli media estimated some 15,000 people at the Jerusalem demonstration. An estimated 1,000 also protested at an intersection near Netanyahu’s beach house in the upscale coastal town of Caesaria, and smaller gatherings took place on bridges and at intersections across the country.

      There was a heavy police presence at the demonstrations but no reports of violence in the loud but orderly protests.

      The rallies against Netanyahu are the largest Israel has seen since 2011 protests over the country’s high cost of living.

      After moving quickly to contain the virus last spring, many believe Israel reopened its economy too quickly, leading to a surge in cases. The country is now coping with record levels of coronavirus, while unemployment has surged to over 20%.

      Many of the demonstrators, including many young unemployed Israelis, accuse Netanyau of mishandling the coronavirus crisis and the economic damage it has caused.

      Netanyahu’s Likud Party announced that Sunday’s weekly Cabinet meeting had been called off because of disagreements with the chief coalition partner, the rival Blue and White Party. The sides have been feuding over the country’s national budget, and if they cannot reach a deal by late this month, Israel would be plunged into an early election.

      Likud and Blue and White have repeatedly squabbled since forming a coalition government in May. While Blue and White leader Benny Gantz has defended the protesters, Netanyahu has dismissed them as “leftists” and “anarchists” and inciting violence against him. He also accuses the local media of strengthening the demonstrations by giving them heavy coverage.

      Netanyahu’s son, Yair, this week caused a public uproar when he described the protesters as “aliens.” Many protesters Saturday dressed up as visitors from outer space to mock the comments.

      While the demonstrations have largely been peaceful, there have been signs of violence in previous weeks. Some protesters have clashed with police, accusing them of using excessive force, while small gangs of Netanyahu supporters affiliated with a far-right group have assaulted demonstrators. But recent gatherings have taken place without incident.

      The demonstrations, taking place several times a week at locations around the country, are organized by a loose-knit network of activist groups. Some object to Netanyahu remaining in office while he is on trial. He has been charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of scandals. Many carry black flags, the name of one of the grassroots movements.

    • Des milliers de personnes aux dernières manifestations anti-Netanyahu
      Des rassemblements ont eu lieu aux abords des habitations du Premier ministre et sur les ponts, dans tout Israël, pour dénoncer la corruption et sa gestion de la pandémie

      Des milliers d’Israéliens se sont réunis samedi soir pour protester contre le Premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu dans le cadre d’un mouvement plus large dénonçant ses accusations de corruption et sa gestion de la pandémie de coronavirus.

      La principale manifestation a été organisée aux abords de la résidence du Premier ministre à Jérusalem, où des rassemblements anti-Netanyahu ont eu régulièrement lieu ces derniers mois. Selon les médias, environ 15 000 personnes ont pris part au rassemblement, contre 32 000 personnes selon les organisateurs, se basant sur le nombre de brassards distribués aux participants à l’entrée de la place.

      De nombreux manifestants ont brandi des panneaux conçus à la main dénonçant un gouvernement déconnecté. Un groupe de protestataires a fabriqué un sous-marin en papier mâché – une allusion à l’affaire de corruption impliquant l’achat de navires qui a éclaboussé des proches de Netanyahu, mais épargné le chef du gouvernement – le promenant à travers la foule.
