Mass demonstrations are continuing to take place across Israel in protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Al Jazeera’s correspondent, Hamdah Salhut, joined live from Amman, Jordan to report on the ongoing unrest.
The protests, which have been ongoing for weeks, are demanding the resignation of Netanyahu over corruption charges and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Demonstrators have expressed frustration with the government’s response to the economic crisis brought on by the pandemic, as well as concerns about Netanyahu’s alleged abuse of power.
The demonstrations have seen thousands of people taking to the streets in cities across Israel, with protesters calling for an end to Netanyahu’s long-standing rule. The prime minister, who has been in power for over a decade, has denied any wrongdoing and has dismissed the protests as politically motivated.
Despite the government’s efforts to crack down on the demonstrations, including the use of water cannons and arrests of protesters, the mass protests are showing no signs of slowing down. Demonstrators are determined to continue their fight until Netanyahu steps down from his position as prime minister.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Israeli government will respond to the growing unrest and whether the protests will ultimately lead to any significant political change in the country.
