In Tel Aviv, thousands protest against PM for failing to prepare for second COVID wave

The crowd at the protest against the government’s economic response to the pandemic has swelled into the thousands at Tel Aviv’s Charles Clore Park.

Addressing the rally, self-employed business owner Nir Hirschman says, “Mr. Prime Minister, the second wave of the coronavirus did not surprise anyone. You knew it was coming. But you wasted your time on nonsense.”

“While you went to get tax exemptions, you should have been worrying about establishing an epidemiological contact-tracing system. Instead of planning a fight against the justice system, you should have been planning to fight against unemployment.”
