Lehava cancels protest against Arab journalist
The anti-assimilation Lehava organization cancels a protest against Arab-Israel journalist Lucy Aharish, originally set for Wednesday night, as Aharish is honored at the annual Independence Day ceremony.
The group calls off the protest due to police restrictions, Channel 2 reports.
“Due to the police’s silencing, which was designed to stifle a legitimate protest, we decided to cancel the protest across from the ceremony,” it says in a statement.
