Yair Golan, the leader of The Democrats opposition party, promises to “continue to struggle” against the government after being knocked to the ground by police during a mass demonstration in Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. After 38 years in the IDF, a few shoves won’t stop me and us,” he posts on X, pledging not to “stop for a moment” in leading a “determined struggle” to halt the coalition’s judicial overhaul agenda, bring home the hostages and “replace the government.”
