TEL AVIV, Israel — Tens of thousands of Israelis took part in a demonstration in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening against government corruption and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The “March of Shame” was also directed against a draft bill that could limit police powers by prohibiting officers from making recommendations to prosecute after investigations, Israeli daily Haaretz reported.
Critics say the bill, which will come up for a second reading today, is intended to protect Netanyahu from police investigations.
Netanyahu has been questioned multiple times by corruption probes, which have spanned over a year and ensnared his closest confidants.
