Hundreds of people are protesting in Tel Aviv against the proposed establishment of a new National Guard that would answer directly to far-right National Police Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

A number of central roads in the coastal city have been closed off due to the protest, which is being held under the banner “No to Ben Gvir’s militia.”

Similar rallies were taking place in several other major cities, according to Walla news.
