Demonstrators against Netanyahu moved to Tel Aviv but surprisingly police refrained from violance

The demonstrators against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moved the demonstration from Balfour Street in Jerusalem to Tel Aviv on Thursday evening. About 1,000 protesters marched in the city without permission from the police. Hundreds of policemen from the Tel Aviv district deployed in the area with increased forces and announced that the protesters had dispersed - but did not use force against them.
As a result of the march, the Azrieli junction was briefly blocked, and before that, Ibn Gvirol Street in the section between Arlozorov Street and Jabotinsky Street. Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. Earlier, the police made it clear that they would not allow the protesters to hold a procession outside the square, but apart from the roadblocks, the police did not act against the march.
On behalf of the black flag protesters, it was stated at the end of the demonstration: "Especially on this challenging evening, we would like to thank the Tel Aviv police for conducting the event, the dedicated police officers who allowed the democratic demonstration to take place. Jerusalem will conduct the event in the same way this coming Saturday. "
The "Mothers Against Violence" group, whose members wear yellow vests and divide the police and protesters in Jerusalem, also thanked the police for the march: "Thank you for guarding us and accompanying the march in humanity. This is the police we want to see in Balfour. .
MK Moshe (Boogie) Ya'alon Mish Atid-Telam also attended the demonstration in Tel Aviv. He praised the police for their activities during the demonstration. "I saw the police accompanying the demonstration and the procession from Rabin Square to the government compound. Police officers who understand their role and protect citizens and their right to demonstrate and protest. This is how good police and professionalism work. "
The demonstrators waved signs that read, among other things: "Resign," "Bibi released" and "Netanyahu to you." The demonstrators also chanted: "Fraud and breach of trust" and "Underworld capitalism". Due to the demonstration, a row of streets in Tel Aviv were blocked to traffic. Police announced that all traffic lanes were eventually opened.
The protest organizations that participated in the demonstration are the Black Flags, No Situation, the Prime Minister, the March of the Million, the Shelter Protest, the contractor workers, mothers against violence, culture shock and the youth organizations Komi Israel, the Pink Front and the Insults.
Meanwhile, about 300 people participated last night in the demonstration of the black flags in Haifa. The demonstrators gathered near the mother garden in the center of the Carmel, and from there marched on Sderot Nasi'eim Israel in the direction of the Carmelia neighborhood and back. During the march, the police closed the road and the roads leading to it. One of the demonstrators said, "I wander between demonstrations, from the bridges, to Jerusalem, to Caesarea. Today I am in Haifa for the first time. When the mass is large enough, the demonstrations will have an effect, and already today it has an effect. It causes Bibi pressure.
Before the demonstrations began, organizers said that "in the last day dozens of organizations and business owners affected by the failure to manage the Corona crisis have joined our struggle. It is a struggle of all of us. Because we all suffer from the detached. It is an existential struggle, tomorrow and the future in this country. We have nothing to eat, because they killed our livelihood. " "The checks are back and the credit cards are canceled," they added. "We are taking to the streets tonight because we are in debt and returning to our parents because we do not have a home to live in. We hope that the Israeli police will not succumb to pressure from the government and allow the march to take place as a series, as it announced earlier today. .
Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. However, according to the police, "a procession will not be allowed, since no request for its existence has been submitted and no agreements have been reached on this matter between the organizers and the police. Such a procession, as it arises, will be illegal and the police will not allow it to take place." Police added that if a request was made to hold a procession, it would be "examined on the merits." Eventually, as mentioned, the police allowed the protesters to march.
Meanwhile, the protest movements of the Prime Minister and the black flags petitioned the High Court demanding that Deputy Chiefs of Staff Nisso Guetta, who had been beaten by protesters in Balfour, be removed from the demonstrations until the end of his interrogation in the Police Investigations Department.
