Israeli Protesters Demand PM Netanyahu Step Down Amid Corruption Trial
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Jerusalem, thousands of Israelis protested outside the home of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday, demanding he step down during his
trial on corruption charges. Netanyahu is also under fire over his
handling of the coronavirus pandemic amid a spike of infections linked
to the reopening of schools in May. At least one person was injured
after police used horses and water cannons to disperse Tuesday's
demonstrations. Fifty protesters were arrested.
