Despite the closure: Thousands demonstrated densely in Balfour – some were observed without masks

The 29th week in a row: While most Israeli citizens are locked in their homes due to the spike in morbidity, thousands came as a weekly demonstration against the prime minister, without observing the rules of social distance and some were even observed without masks. A 23-year-old man was arrested in Holon on suspicion of attacking protesters with tear gas

Demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also took place tonight (Saturday night), for the 29th week in a row, outside his official residence in Jerusalem, and in a number of other centers around the country. Reports of attacks by demonstrators at the Kfar Yona junction and in Holon, who were allegedly attacked in the protest area. One of the young men suspected of assault in Holon was detained for questioning by the police.

Chairman of the Constitution Committee, MK Yaakov Asher, attacked the demonstrators: “It is quite puzzling that after an obsessive media rummage through the ultra-Orthodox public, whose whole sin is to educate its children, not a single word of criticism is heard from the media. “M is” the bird of the soul and a sacred democratic debt “even when all the people of Israel are in closure, it turns out that there is a soul bird that is allowed to be slaughtered every evening in the new editions and there is a protected soul bird that is immune and aired.

The movement for the quality of government, which Arena demonstrated in Caesarea, said: “Netanyahu imposed a tight closure on us a few days before an important hearing in his trial and indeed managed to postpone it. How can we believe that the decision was closed and was not motivated by foreign considerations? Netanyahu is present and the conclusion shouts to heaven – a criminal accused who is on trial can and is not capable of running a state at the same time in any way. We will continue to defend democracy with all vigilance and fight the lie industry out of Balfour and unfortunately resonates in the media. “It will increase it – they say so far to incitement, there is a limit to lies.”

A response from the Komi Israel youth movement said: “It is very unfortunate that the Israeli police, instead of defending the demonstrators, has become a political body in Netanyahu’s hands to suppress freedom of protest and the elimination of Israeli democracy. We will continue to defend democracy. ”

During tonight’s demonstration in Paris Square, the “Democratic Party” was launched, which is expected to run in the upcoming Knesset elections. The party will hold primary elections in which members and members of the Democratic Party will be able to elect its leadership and list. The list of candidates includes some of the prominent activists of the protest against Netanyahu: Yishai Hadas, Haim Shadmi, Sadi Ben Sheetrit and more.

The “Black Flags” movement said that “in recent months there has been a difficult and cruel campaign of incitement against the protesters against the government corruption. As a result of the incitement there have been hundreds of documented attacks.” “No Situation” reported that “the incitement and lies that come out of the house in Balfour of a prime minister accused of crimes are escalating ahead of the election.”
