Thousands still protesting in Jerusalem as 11 p.m. deadline set by police passes
Some protesters against Prime Minister Netanyahu have left but thousands remain in Jerusalem’s Paris Square, cheering as the clock strikes 11 p.m. Police have said the protest is supposed to end by that deadline, but as at previous rallies, the demonstrators show little inclination to leave by the stipulated time.
As one protester is dragged by police to a bus for detainees, protesters follow behind them, chanting “for shame! For shame! He did nothing!”
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says police units are mobilized in the area. He declines to comment when asked how people have been detained and on what grounds.
