Over 2,000 protesters are taking part in what is now the fifth consecutive ‘march of shame’ anti-government corruption rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday night. Protesters are rallying to demonstrate against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the corruption scandals he and members of his government are embroiled in.

Over 10,000 people protested across Israel in ‘march of shame’ rallies last week. Thousands of people marched on Tel Aviv’s Rothschild Boulevard while some 800 rallied in Jerusalem’s Zion Square and hundreds demonstrated in the northern city of Haifa.
The rally in Jerusalem last week marked the first time Israelis on the right, among them voters for Netanyahu’s Likud party, demonstrated against corruption in Netanyahu’s government.

Netanyahu is currently being investigated in two separate cases.
The first investigation is about allegations that he received lavish gifts from wealthy businessmen.
The police are also investigating allegations Netanyahu attempted to make a deal with the owner of Yediot Ahronoth, a popular Israeli newspaper that is often critical of the prime minister, to assure he would get more favorable coverage.
Another scandal, dubbed the “submarine affair” involves Netanyahu associates. It deals with the allegations of bribery in a deal between Israel and Germany worth over a billion dollars.
