Police have informed anti-government protesters they will not be allowed to hold their regular Saturday night protest on the intersection of Kaplan and Begin streets in Tel Aviv.
The spot was meant to host, this coming Saturday, its first rally since the IDF removed limitations on gatherings in central Israel in light of the ceasefire in Lebanon. Activists plan to focus on new bills being advanced by the government that they say represent a return of efforts for “a regime coup.”
However, police assert that recent rallies have been too small to justify blocking the key intersection, and are demanding that the protest be relocated a few meters away from the junction, near IDF Headquarters’ Begin Gate.
Organizers have said the reason for the smaller turnout was the Home Front Command limitations, and have vowed to fight the decision.
Police say they will reassess the matter if there is a large number of attendants at the protest.
