Ethiopian-Israeli protesters have begun their planned march through central Tel Aviv, beginning at the Azrieli mall and walking down Kaplan Street.

The march is set to end at Rabin Square, where the main event is to take place. Speakers at the Rabin Square event include MK Pnina Tamano-Shata and the families of Ethiopian-Israelis killed by police in the past.
