Peace rally in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square set for 8 p.m.
A peace rally is scheduled to kick off in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square at 8 p.m this evening. The gathering, which takes place two days after a rally in support of residents of southern Israel, is entitled “Changing direction to peace — not the way to wars.”
Among those speaking at the event are author David Grossman, journalist Zuhair Bahloul, Meretz party leader Zehava Gal-on and Hadash party leader Mohammad Barakeh.
According to Israel Radio, streets leading to the central Tel Aviv venue — Ibn Gabirol, Arlozorov, Frishman, Ben Gurion and Malchei Yisrael — are closed to traffic.
