A woman was delayed as she entered a train station in Tel Aviv earlier because she was wearing a shirt of an anti-government protest movement.

A security guard told the woman her attire “may cause a provocation,” in a video the woman uploaded online. Asked if a pro-Netanyahu shirt would have also been banned, the guard answered “Yes, unequivocally.”

The woman was eventually let in.

In response to the incident, Israel Railways says: “It is forbidden to demonstrate or enter train stations with protest items of any kind (including signs, flags etc.). For this reason the passenger was asked to wait several moments while the guard conferred with staff, who approved her entry.”
