Police don’t declare Jerusalem rally illegal yet; hundreds remain
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDespite calling on protesters to disperse, police do not seem to have declared the Jerusalem demonstration illegal yet, which would precede dispersal by force.
Hundreds remain at Paris Square, the vast majority on Ramban Street facing a police barricade.
Omer, a middle-aged protester from central Israel, says he decided to come to the protests for the first time.
“I’m very politically quiet, you know, middle class. But with the way things are, even I have to take part,” he says.
