Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is engulfed in a string of scandals and faces a growing grassroots protest movement demanding his indictment and removal from office.
Weekly anti-corruption vigils in front of the home of Israel's attorney general have gone from a trickle to drawing thousands. Recent arrest of the protest's two main organizers seems to spell stress within Netanyahu's circle while further energizing his opponents.
The two — Eldad Yaniv and Meni Naftali — were once dismissed as disgruntled fringe characters but have together galvanized a movement that has rattled Netanyahu's grip on power.
