Israeli protesters in Tel Aviv have staged massive demonstration calling for resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged corruption.
People gathered in central Tel Aviv for a demonstration, titled the "March of Shame," on Saturday for the fourth consecutive week, while a smaller protest was held in Jerusalem al-Quds.
Netanyahu is involved in two separate corruption cases and investigators have questioned him seven times.
The cases involve allegations that Netanyahu received lavish gifts from wealthy businessmen and negotiated a deal with a newspaper owner for more favorable coverage. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Congress president and Netanyahu’s long-time ally, Ronald Lauder, had given the premier and his son gifts, including expensive suits. The accounts prompted Israeli police to interrogate the prime minister.
