Thousands of Israelis have resumed their weekly protest outside Prime Minister Netanyahu’s official residence in central Jerusalem, amid a new nationwide lockdown order aimed at curbing a raging coronavirus spike. An exception allows public demonstrations.
Israeli protesters hold signs and chant slogans during a demonstration against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu near the Prime Minister's residence in Jerusalem, Sunday, Sept. 20, 2020.
An exception allowing people to hold public demonstrations was included in the three-week lockdown imposed last Friday. But many participants in the gathering appeared to ignore social-distancing rules that order them to remain in small separated “capsules” of people. The demonstrations restarted hours after the end of the Jewish new year holiday, Rosh Hashana. Netanyahu’s government imposed the new lockdown just hours before the holiday began.
