Thousands of right-wing activists protest in Tel Aviv against the government led by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as the November 14 deadline to pass a budget and shore up the coalition approaches.
The rally, organized by Likud at the Habima Square in Tel Aviv, includes appearances by MKs Tzahi Hanegbi, Miri Regev and Amir Ohana as well as Religious Zionism MKs Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Holding signs that read “You don’t have a mandate to erase the Jewish state,” “A Jewish government for a Jewish state,” and “Bennett/Shaked betrayal is a crime,” the protesters call to topple the government and return Benjamin Netanyahu to power.
The government has until November 14 to pass a much-delayed 2021 budget. If it fails to do so, the coalition will automatically be dissolved and new elections will be triggered.
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.
