Protesters say police trying to ‘silence’ anti-Netanyahu rally with Jerusalem street closures

Police have closed a number of streets in central Jerusalem ahead of the weekly protest against Prime Minister Netanyahu outside his official residence in Jerusalem.

Cars will not be able to access the area around Paris Square, which is adjacent to the Prime Minister’s Office.

Organizers accuse police of seeking to prevent demonstrators from reaching the protest site. The Crime Minister group is quoted by the Kan public broadcaster calling the street closures an “attempt to silence” protesters.
