Israeli protesters outside parliament unite against Netanyahu government

Israeli protestors from various groups have come together to demand elections and the removal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. To put pressure on the government, they’ve set up a tent city in front of the Knesset, or Israeli parliament, in Jerusalem. The atmosphere is like a festival but people are angry. Host Marco Werman is in Jerusalem and talks with The World’s Matthew Bell about the scene.
