TEL AVIV, Apr 26 (NNN-HAARETZ) – Some 2,000 protesters are demonstrating at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv, against Benjamin Netanyahu and the establishment of the unity government.
The protesters wave Israeli flags and black flags, while holding signs that read “corrupt home” and “bribery fraud.”
Protesters were required by police to draw chalk crosses, to show that they are complying with social distancing measures, but due to ongoing rain, organisers have to move between people to ensure, along with the police, that distances are maintained.
The protest is one of several so-called “Black Flag” protests, that have taken place in the past weeks.
Sunday’s (today’s) protest has a turn out of thousands and has received worldwide coverage. The protesters are demonstrating against the establishment of the unity government, between Prime Minister, Benjamin Neyanyahu and Kahol Lavan leader, Benny Gantz, which they call the biggest and most corrupt government in the history of the state of Israel.
“We are determined to protect democracy. We, the citizens, have to lead,” organisers said.– NNN-HAARETZ
