Anti-government demonstrators are coming from two directions toward the Ayalon Highway in Tel Aviv.
“Human rights for everyone. We have come to expel the darkness,” the marchers sing.
“There’s no equality, we’re heading down to the Ayalon,” they chant.
But a leader of the march says over a loudspeaker: “We respect you despite [National Security Minister Itamar] Ben Gvir, and will not go down to the Ayalon.”
Police have placed roadblocks and bolstered forces in the area to prevent the crowd from blocking the highway.
