Lapid slams police for ‘antidemocratic’ violence in Tel Aviv clashes with protesters
Opposition leader Yair Lapid issues a statement denouncing police after officers violently clashed with protesters in Tel Aviv.
“The police violence this evening toward protesters, among them the families of hostages, is dangerous, antidemocratic and cannot continue,” he says. “The right to protest is a fundamental right, and it cannot be taken from protesters with batons and water cannons.”
