The demonstrators gathered outside Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem and in front of his private residence in the city of Caesarea in northern Israel. The protesters also organized demonstrations that continued throughout the night, in Jerusalem and in several cities in Israel, and the gatherings included bridges and road intersections.

According to the "Israel 24" website, the protesters chanted, "Yes to change the government, no to the fifth elections." A representative of the anti-Netanyahu Black Flag movement said that, "After 4 elections that harmed the Israeli people, there is a need for a clear decision ... the people decided that they want to change the government.", Adding that "the people will not accept other elections that are of no use."

Negotiations are continuing between party representatives to try to form a government after the March 23 elections, after Israeli President Reuven Rivlin gave Netanyahu the mandate, again, to form a coalition government, while negotiations are still difficult.

Every week for more than 7 months, protesters have demonstrated against Netanyahu, demanding that he step down due to his trial with corruption files and his mismanagement of the Corona crisis.
