Anti-Netanyahu protesters attempt to march in Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA large group of protesters marches down Jerusalem’s Agron Street from Paris Square, where a mass rally is being held against Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Dozens of police officers rush to cut them off, preventing them from leaving the intersection.
“Hundreds of demonstrators begin a march without police authorization,” a police statement says.
Police have long cited a Supreme Court ruling from 2017 that requires marches to be coordinated with them in advance.
