Three demonstrators arrested at a protest yesterday outside Prime Minister Netanyahu’s official residence will be brought before the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court this evening, with police requesting they be banned from the city for 15 days.
Amir Haskel, a former air force general, and the two other protesters have remained in custody after refusing to be released under restrictive conditions, among them staying away from Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem.
Police say Haskel was arrested for “endangering public security” and that he is suspected of violating a legal order, taking part in a prohibited gathering and being a public nuisance, the Ynet news site reports.
In addition to a temporary restraining order barring him from Jerusalem, police are also asking he post bail of NIS 5,000 as part of his release, according to the report.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
