- Story Text: Hundreds of Israelis protested in front of the Israeli Prime Minister's Jerusalem residence on Sunday (March 23) as Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet approved a motion of no confidence in the attorney general, the latest move against officials deemed hostile to the government.
Minor scuffles broke out at the start but calm returned shortly after police moved people away.
Tens of thousands of Israelis have joined demonstrations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv over the past week, as fears for Israeli hostages after a resumption of the bombing campaign in Gaza and anger at moves to sack the head of the domestic intelligence agency have brought different protest groups together.
The vote against the attorney general, who has frequently clashed with the government over the legality of some of its policies, came days after cabinet sparked mass protests by approving the removal of Shin Bet intelligence agency chief Ronen Bar, after Netanyahu lost confidence in him.
The moves against the two officials have drawn accusations from protesters and the opposition that Netanyahu's right-wing government is undermining key state institutions.
