Hundreds of Israelis demonstrated Saturday demanding the opposition form a coalition with Arab parties to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office, Middle East Eye reported. The protesters, rallying under the banner "Give peace a chance," sought to pressure opposition leaders to pursue electoral alliances that would increase their combined parliamentary strength.
Netanyahu has responded aggressively to the coalition strategy being discussed among opposition forces. The protest occurred as opposition leaders weigh whether to include Arab parties in future governing coalitions.
