Hundreds of protesters are marching through the streets of Jerusalem’s Rehavia neighborhood in an effort to reach the residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The march began with thousands of participants, but thinned out after briefly splitting into multiple directions throughout the neighborhood.
The police have erected barricades on Azza Street to prevent demonstrators from reaching Netanyahu’s residence.
Hillel Levi-Faur, one of the protest organizers, gives an impromptu speech directed at the police.
“You know us. We are non-violent protesters,” he says. “All these barricades and unnecessary blockades are a shame. Allow us to demonstrate in front of the Prime Minister’s Residence.”
“Bibi is abandoning the hostages!” shout the protesters, before reading off the names of the remaining Hamas captives in Gaza.
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.
