Thousands rally against Netanyahu

Tens of thousands of protesters rallied at a square in central Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, calling for the replacement of incumbent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the country's March 17 elections.

The rally, titled "Israel wants change", was organized by the Million Hands grassroots organisation that campaigns for a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians and the creation of a Palestinian state.

Police said more than 25,000 people protested in the city's Yitzhak Rabin Square. Organizers said twice as many people attended the rally.
