JERUSALEM – Israeli police sprayed a crowd of protesters with water cannon to disperse demonstrators calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation over corruption charges.
Temperatures were about 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) on a raw winter evening when the crowd was sprayed on Saturday.
Police accused some protesters of unruly behavior, including throwing objects and trying to break through a police barricade.
One officer was lightly hurt and several protesters were arrested.
The protesters say Netanyahu cannot serve as prime minister when he is on trial for charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases.(AP)
