21 arrested in Tel Aviv protests as police say they came for illegitimate reasons
Twenty-one people were arrested at the anti-government protest in Tel Aviv earlier this evening, the Israel Police says in a statement, alleging that they had “gathered illegally” in the street and disturbed the peace.
“Unfortunately, today we saw a number of protesters who came with the purpose of confronting the police, and not for a legitimate protest,” the statement adds.
