National Unity leader Benny Gantz calls on police “not to give in to the campaign of government threats” and urges them to allow protests against the judicial overhaul to continue.
“Many Israelis will go out today to demonstrate against a regime coup that threatens Israeli democracy. I trust the Israel Police — from the commissioner down to the very last police officer in the field — not to give in to the campaign of threats from the members of the government, and to allow the protest to take place as it should in a democratic country,” Gantz tweets.
“I call on all the protesters – go out, demonstrate, fulfill your duty, and do it according to the law and police instructions,” he says.
