Yair Golan, former deputy IDF chief and ex-deputy economy minister, also addresses the anti-government protest outside the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv.
“When I arrived at the site of the Supernova festival on October 7 and saw the bodies of our friends, a new feeling arose in me,” Golan begins. “That feeling is called rage.”
“This government can’t set diplomatic goals, can’t bring the hostages home, and can’t save two areas of Israel that have been abandoned,” he continues. “The only thing they can do is look out for their political survival.”
Golan, a former Meretz lawmaker, announced this week his candidacy for leadership of the Labor Party.
Chants of “One bloc! Together we will win!” begin as Golan exits the stage.
Following the lineup of speakers, protest organizers ask the crowd to remain on the sidewalk and obey police orders. Last week’s protest devolved into clashes and arrests as well as the deployment of water cannons.
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.
