Many protesters have camped out in tents outside the Knesset, where the demonstrations have swelled each evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The protest and an authorized march started peacefully on Tuesday night but then turned into an unbridled \u201criot,\u201d according to the Israeli police force. It said in a statement that hundreds of rioters had tried to break through barriers near Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s house but were blocked by the police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The police said that dozens of people continued to riot in the street afterward, forcing officers to deploy riot control measures. Five people were arrested and one officer was injured in the melee, the police force added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Photographs of the scene showed that the police used water cannons to disperse protesters, many of whom carried Israeli flags.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many of the protesters accuse Mr. Netanyahu of prioritizing his political survival over the broader interests of the Israeli people and hold him responsible for his government\u2019s failure to prevent the Oct. 7 attack led by Hamas. He also has been accused of not doing enough to bring home the hostages held by Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Posters bearing the names and faces of the hostages have been ever-present at the protests, along with signs and banners reading \u201cBring Them Home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many Israelis have refrained from protesting the government during the war. While this week\u2019s protests have been some of the most significant demonstrations against Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s government since the war began, the crowds have appeared smaller than those at the demonstrations last year at the peak of a wave of antigovernment protests, which the prime minister\u2019s coalition survived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israeli police clashed with antigovernment protesters outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s home in Jerusalem on Tuesday night, which was the third day of demonstrations calling for early elections and his ouster.
