Holocaust survivors rally against overhaul, Ben Gvir’s planned national guard

Several Holocaust survivors hold a demonstration near the President’s Residence against the government’s judicial overhaul legislation and the plan to form a national guard answering to far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

In the rally, held as Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, the survivors hold up banners saying: “Do not dare do anything that resembles what was done to our people — no to a militia in Israel.”

Another banner says: “No to Ben Gvir’s militia.”

Rally organizers issue a statement saying: “The victims of the Holocaust are crying from the earth, no to this regime coup. Anyone who endured the Holocaust and their descendants must cry out over what’s happening today in the State of Israel. This is an outrage.”
