Police have closed off access to protesters who intended to rally outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home on Azza Street in the capital.

Most protesters appear to be redirecting to a protest in Paris Square near the official Prime Minister’s Residence, which is empty due to renovations.

Other protesters gather outside the nearby President’s Residence, which has been the site of weekly rallies against the government’s plan to curb the judiciary.
