Jerusalem, July 16 (RHC)-- In Jerusalem, thousands of Israelis protested outside the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding he step down during his trial on corruption charges. 

Netanyahu is also under fire over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic amid a spike of infections linked to the reopening of schools in May. 

At least one person was injured after police used horses and water cannons to disperse Tuesday’s demonstrations.  Fifty protesters were arrested.
