Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered at a Tel Aviv square under the
banner, "Israel wants change" and calling for the Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national
elections. APhas more:
Saturday night's rally at Rabin Square is the highest profile
demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It is organized by a
non-profit organization seeking to change Israel's priorities and
refocus on health, education, housing and the country's cost of
living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew
mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.
The rally's keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who
recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who
has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel."
