Ten arrested at weekly Tel Aviv rallies, protesters gather outside MK Gideon Sa’ar’s apartment
Ten protesters were arrested in Tel Aviv during the weekly demonstrations against the government and in favor of a hostage deal.
After the main protests were dispersed, a group of demonstrators made their way to MK Gideon Sa’ar’s apartment block where they called on the lawmaker to ensure that far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich do not gain entry into the war cabinet.
The protesters also rally outside the home of Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, from Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party, calling for the release of the hostages and lighting a bonfire before being dispersed by the police.
