40,000 Israelis Attend Anti-Netanyahu Rally in Tel-Aviv
Tens of thousands fill Rabin Square for anti-Netanyahu rally
by Times of Israel Staff
An estimated 40,000 demonstrators poured into Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square Saturday evening to take part in a rally calling for a change in government. The plaza was filled with posters supporting the left-wing Meretz party and the center-left Zionist Union.
Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan headlined the speakers who took to the podium to address the teeming crowd. Having unleashed harsh criticism of the Netanyahu administration in an interview aired Friday, Dagan again attacked the prime minister, saying “we have a leader who fights only one campaign — the campaign for his own political survival.”
“In the name of this war, he is dragging us down to a bi-national state and to the end of the Zionist dream,” the former spy chief, 70, said of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
