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.”
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.
