Thousands rally in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu government days before election
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening to protest against Benjamin Netanyahu's government, three days before the Knesset election. Al Jazeera reported that opposition leaders took part in the rally. The vote is widely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu himself.
Why it matters
The rally reflects deep political polarization in Israel on the eve of a vote seen as a test of Netanyahu's standing. The outcome could shape the next government's approach to regional issues.
Background
The Knesset is Israel's parliament, and its election results determine which blocs go on to form the government. The Tel Aviv protest came in the final days of the campaign, and was aimed at the government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu.
What’s next
According to both outlets, the Knesset election is due three days after the protest.
