Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered at a Tel Aviv square on Saturday under the banner "Israel wants change" and called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national elections.

The rally at Rabin Square was the highest profile demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It was organized by a nonprofit organization seeking to change Israel's priorities and refocus on health, education, housing and the country's cost of living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.

The rally's keynote speaker was former Mossad chief Meir Dagan, who recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel."
