Police have arrested four protesters blocking a road in Jerusalem during a demonstration in support of the Supreme Court.
Protest organizers say participants, linking arms, began blocking an intersection near the Supreme Court this morning. A handful of demonstrators were also seen atop an archway over the road.
The detained activists were taken to the Moriah police station in the capital. Yoni Nussbaum, a lawyer who does pro bono work for detained anti-government protesters, says he is headed to the station.
Later this evening, protesters are expected to join in a march from Chords Bridge, near the entrance to Jerusalem, to the Supreme Court. “We will not allow them to trample the Supreme Court,” say organizers in a statement announcing the march.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
