The chair of the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, Eliad Shraga, addresses the crowd during the major anti-government protest in Tel Aviv.
“Always remember that we prefer the cold and the rain of liberal democracy than the heat and hell of a fascist dictatorship,” he says.
Shraga calls on President Isaac Herzog to declare Benjamin Netanyahu as unfit to serve as prime minister.
He says the new government aims to take “change the DNA of the State of Israel,” transforming it from a secular state to a religious fundamentalist state that harms the rights of women and the LGBTQ community.
Shraga vows to continue the struggle for democratic Israel across the country for “liberty, equality, and quality of governance.”
