Thousands of people turned out Tuesday evening for a rally in support of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu following the Attorney General’s decision to indict the prime minister for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
Tuesday’s rally, officially organized by a handful of right-wing organizations but promoted heavily by the Likud party and Netanyahu himself, appears to be echoing the premier’s message, with posters for the event calling on the public to come and “stop the coup.”
“There are places where there is a military coup and the military removes elected officials, and there is also a legal coup that takes place over the table in front of our eyes.”
