Disabled protesters block entrance to Coalition Chairman Bitan’s home

Disabled protesters block the entrance to Coalition Chairman David Bitan’s home in Rishon Lezion.

The protesters are denouncing Bitan for what they say is a poor compromise deal reached last week between the finance ministry and handicapped activists.

Last week, Bitan took part in marathon talks that resulted in a compromise agreement to increase stipends for disabled Israelis and end the ongoing traffic-halting demonstrations by disabled activists.

Some of the protesters clashed with Bitan’s neighbors when they tried to enter the building.
