Protesters rallied outside the Israeli parliament buildings in Jerusalem on Sunday, March 31, to demand elections to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government.

Video filmed by X user @MartinLuth63728 show protesters gathered at a rally outside the Knesset on Sunday evening.

Protesters were also seen blocking roads across Jerusalem, and protests also took place in other cities, such as Tel Aviv.

Israeli reports said the multi-city protest was spurred by the government’s response to the October 7 attack and unpopular judiciary reform pushed by Netanyahu. Credit: @MartinLuth63728 via Storyful
