Thousands march against Israeli PM

Tens of thousands of people marched in Tel Aviv calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in the upcoming elections.

Israeli media reported up to 30,000 protesters in the Rabin Square, chanting "Bibi, you've failed, go home," calling Netanyahu by his nickname.

They matched under the banner 'Israel wants change' yesterday, ahead of elections on March 17, in which the Prime Minister is seeking his fourth term in office.

The keynote speaker was Meir Dagan, a former Mossad chief who accused Netanyahu of failing in deal with Iran and forfeiting Israel's interests for the sake of his own political survival by not pushing for a peace deal with the Palestinians.

Opinion polls show the PM and his right-wing Likud party running neck-and-neck with rival Isaac Herzog, head of the centre-left Zionist Union.
