Right-wing and Left-wing activists protest at PM's house

Both right-wing and left-wing Israeli activists gathered to protest outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house on Sunday, calling for his resignation over the failure to provide security in East Jerusalem.

Uri Keidar, chairman of the Labor party’s youth movement, said that Netanyahu had failed to provide a "longterm solution" to the security problems in the city.

"The right explains to us why nothing works and nothing is their fault," he told the crowd. "A right wing government and what do we hear from them? Excuses. A long term solution should be found and if they can’t find it they should return the keys and go home.”

Yossi Dagan, head of the settlement body the Samaria Regional Council in the West Bank, had also been involved in a sit-in outside the Prime Minister’s Residence since Friday.
