Thousands demonstrated against the Corona law which gives Netanyahu more power - 34 were arrested

Thousands demonstrated Tuesday night against the prime minister and the laws he is trying to pass in the Knesset that they believe are undermining democracy. The demonstrators from dozens of organizations gathered near the Prime Minister's residence on Balfour Street, and began marching towards the Knesset, where they demonstrated for about two hours and then returned to Balfour accompanied by District Commander Superintendent Doron Yedid and senior police officers. After 11 p.m., clashes broke out between protesters and police and 34 protesters were arrested. Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck.
After a week of demonstrations around the prime minister's residence in Balfour, in Paris Square and in the city center, the demonstrators marched towards the Knesset of Israel, with lots of drums, drums and anything that could cause noise. In front of the Knesset plaza, a kind of protest festival developed, without a main stage and without speakers, with several centers of slogans. In contrast to the crowded Ben Maimon Boulevard, Kaplan Street leading to the Knesset is wide, so the protesters were able to demonstrate with a little more space between them.
Alongside angry Criminalist protesters shouting "bribery, fraud, breach of trust" and "Bibi Netanyahu for Maasiyahu," was a peaceful circle of protesters who sat on the grass of the traffic circle, singing and lighting candles and incense. It should be noted that in contrast to the previous demonstration, when the demonstrators surrounded the streets surrounding the prime minister's residence, this time all the streets were closed by the police, who, contrary to its initial announcement, approved the procession to the Knesset.
The extended corona law known to the public as the accreditation law allows the government to amend orders, as part of the fight against the corona virus, that will take effect immediately - and receive the Knesset approval only in retrospect. The organizers of the event said: "Under the auspices of the Corona the government of the accused is trying to carry out an attack on democracy. The government led by a criminal has no public legitimacy to harm the democratic proceedings. This is a bad law that must be stopped."
The police stated that they had approved the procession to the Knesset: "In light of a request submitted to the police by the organizers to hold a procession, the police approved the procession in accordance with the agreed terms. The police reiterate that they allow freedom of expression and protest, along with maintaining public order. "We remind the organizers and demonstrators that the protest takes place in the shadow of the spread of the corona virus, and we call on all participants to follow the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, wear masks and maintain social distance in a way that does not endanger the health of other participants and police."
At the same time, in the Paris Square, the restaurateurs' protest took place inside a closed compound where restaurant owners and chefs distributed the food they had left under the heading "This is not the last meal."
The restaurateurs demonstrated in the face of the helplessness of the Israeli government, claiming that to this day it does not offer a logical and clear outline for compensating the industry, which was fatally damaged in the Corona crisis, and is unable to reach a decision on the proper opening of restaurants in Israel.
A spokesman for the restaurateurs' protest, Moore Shobbo Harel, said that after they tried to avoid a political protest, they decided to join the united demonstration against the certification law that is taking place in front of the Knesset. "I realized today that we want more than anything else a state of law and can not be accused of bribery from fraud, and breach of trust will run the country. It does not matter already if we open or close the restaurants there is a struggle here for the house that is bigger than us."
David Frenkel, the chef and owner of Pronto Restaurant in Tel Aviv: "We united several chefs and came to cook and give. This is something our country does not do. There is a file of chefs here who run their business responsibly, not like the state. Our country is run by political motives and we "This bill is being paid for. What happened today in the Knesset committee is embarrassing and insulting and must be here as soon as possible.
