Massive, angry rallies are overwhelming Israel as protesters, calling it the "mother of all demos" increase pressure on PM Netanyahu to either listen to the peoples' demands or get out of the way.
Police have mobilized across the country, blocking streets for the unprecedented numbers and the possibility of confrontation as protest leaders admit these rallies will be angrier. The police presence is unlike what has been seen up to this point, and is due to the government's estimates that the numbers tonight may reach concerning numbers.
To understand the scope of the numbers, according to both protest estimates and police reports, around 4% of Israel's population are currently in the streets (with that number likely to grow as the evening wears on), which in the United States would be the equivalent of nearly 12 million people.
