People have begun to gather at Habima Square in Tel Aviv ahead of this evening’s protests calling for elections to replace the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Demonstrators chant: “We won’t form a government of racists, we won’t form a government of criminals.”
A contingent from the Pink Front, an Israeli activist group, leads a chant with drums, singing: “The High Court protects all of us,” apparently referring to the government’s currently frozen judicial overhaul efforts that would curtail the High Court’s power.
The main protest and speeches begin at 6:30 p.m.
