Meretz MKs defend demonstrations against Netanyahu amid pandemic
Lawmakers from the left-wing Meretz party defend the mass demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which have been held despite soaring coronavirus rates and a nationwide lockdown.
“Twenty-eight thousand newly unemployed in the past day alone. But the protests [are the problem],” tweets Tamar Zandberg sardonically.
MK Nitzan Horowitz tweets: “My position is clear: Precisely in times of crisis, we have an obligation to uphold the right to protest and demonstrate.”
