Israelis march for Netanyahu to quit

Thousands of Israelis have marched in Tel Aviv, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign.

Thousands of Israelis have called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign over corruption allegations during a march in Tel Aviv.

The demonstrations on Saturday were taking place for a third weekend in a row. Some of the participants held up placards that read: "Corrupt people must go."

Netanyahu is facing two corruption investigations, dubbed Case 1000 and 2000.

In Case 1000, he is alleged to have received lavish gifts from billionaires in exchange for benefits.

Case 2000 revolves around a recording of the prime minister allegedly negotiating favourable media coverage with the publisher of Yediot Aharonot in exchange for weakening the newspaper's main competitor, Israel Hayom.
