Protests expected in multiple cities in response to removal of Tel Aviv police chief

Protests are expected in multiple cities this evening in response to the removal of Tel Aviv police chief Amichai Eshed from his post.

Several hundred are now demonstrating on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street.

Organizers say Eshed’s departure, allegedly for his refusal to more harshly tackle protests against the government, is the latest blow to Israeli democracy in addition to “the whirlwind effort to advance coup bills, dismantle the Israel Bar Association, annul the ‘reasonableness’ test [for government decisions]” and more.
