Iran press/Middle East: Protesters in Al-Quds on Thursday evening called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's resignation and condemned his security policy.
Some of the protesters also gathered in front of Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Al-Quds, Iran press reported.
Israeli police closed roads in the neighborhood due to the protest.
Netanyahu's crisis further deepened after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, which rules the Tel Aviv-blockaded territory of the Gaza Strip, started to return the Israeli military’s back-to-back incursions with rocket fires against the city of Ashkelon in southern Israel.
The group has warned the regime against testing the limits of its retaliatory capacity, threatening to hit Tel Aviv next.
On Wednesday, November 14, Israeli war minister, Avigdor Lieberman resigned over a ceasefire deal with Gaza.

Lieberman's withdrawal along with his Yisrael Beitenu party depleted the government’s parliamentary majority to a one-seat edge in the 120-seat legislature.
Netanyahu now holds Lieberman’s portfolio, but Education Minister Naftali Bennett’s far-right Jewish Home party has threatened to withdraw from the coalition if he was not given the post.
Formal elections are not due until November 2019.
Netanyahu separately faces a credibility crisis among Israelis, who have been holding weekly protests for months on end, calling for his resignation over four high-profile cases of fraud.
