Critics of the prime minister have described him as incapable of leading the country.

“It’s one of the biggest demonstrations in Jerusalem since people gathered here to protest, to say ‘We’ve had enough.’ The prime minister is corrupt, he’s not capable of leading. He’s not capable of managing the country anymore because he’s so much involved in what is going on with his trial, he’s only centered in this.” – Tamir Guy Tsabary, protester

The protest against Netanyahu continues and intensifies every day. The citizens of Israel are demanding the departure of the corrupt prime minister. pic.twitter.com/GcGGqYgS5s
