While police would only say the number of protestors was over 100,000, the rally’s organizers said closer to 200,000 were in attendance. A banner reading “Failures, Go Home!” hung behind a podium set up at one end of the square in front of Tel Aviv city hall.
Rally organizer Uzi Dayan, said “The Winograd Committee that the prime minister established has courageously stood up to him and said clearly – Mr. Olmert, you failed,” said Dayan. [Ha’aret]
