Gantz condemns arrest of anti-Likud motor convoy protesters
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBlue and White Chairman Benny Gantz issues a statement condemning police for blocking the motor convoy of Israelis protesting the Likud’s shuttering of the Knesset
Gantz acknowledges that it might have better to have held the protest virtually in order to avoid creating crowds, but adds that “the detaining of drivers is [an] unreasonable [act] for a proper democratic regime.”
“We must not sit quietly in the face of the crushing of our democracy that Netanyahu and [Knesset Speaker Yuli] Edelstein are leading.”
