Police have banned a planned pro-peace demonstration in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv this evening, citing security concerns which do not allow for gatherings of over 1,000 people as the city remains nder rocket threat from the Gaza Strip.

The protest organizers called for dialog “in face of a painful month of war and victims…the next cycle of violence can be avoided. There is another way: Immediate talks with the Palestinians about a fair and sustaining peace, rehabilitation of Gaza and an ending of the blockade, a firm joint stand of Arabs and Jews in the face of racism, and a struggle for a future of living.”
