Thousands of self-employed workers and small business owners protest in Tel Aviv

Thousands of small business owners and self-employed workers are gathering in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square to rally for increased government help and eased restrictions to allow them to return to work, Channel 12 news reports.

Police are attempting to enforce social distancing regulations in the square, which has seen other demonstrations where protesters kept several feet between each other.

Ahead of the protest, Tel Aviv city hall put down place markers for people to use to keep distance, reading “preserving democracy, preserving health.”
