Thousands Protest against Netanyahu in Occupied Al-Quds

By Staff, Agencies

Thousands of ‘Israeli’ settlers protested in occupied al-Quds on Saturday in the latest weekly demonstration against Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his handling of the coronavirus crisis and the corruption charges he faces.

Protesters waved the occupation entity and pink flags, which have become a symbol of the protest movement, as they marched through occupied al-Quds toward a square near Netanyahu’s official residence. Smaller demonstrations were taking place elsewhere across the occupied territories.

Protesters held signs that read, “fighting corruption” and “revolution.”

The protesters criticized Netanyahu for his bungling of the coronavirus outbreak and its economic fallout. Many of the protesters also oppose Netanyahu serving as prime minister while under indictment on three corruption charges: fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes.

Netanyahu, for his part, denies wrongdoing in a series of scandals involving billionaire associates and media moguls.

The protests have gone on for months and kept a spotlight on Netanyahu at a time when the long-serving leader’s popularity has plummeted because of his handling of the virus outbreak in the ‘Israeli’ entity.

The occupation entity is emerging in gradual stages from a monthlong lockdown that the government imposed to tamp down infections. Restrictions still in place have kept stores, hotels and restaurants closed while the Zionist economy continues to take a hit.
