Dozens of protesters against the government and for the hostages demonstrated this evening (Tuesday) and blocked Ayalon South. During the demonstration they lit a bonfire, carried signs with the text: "Netanyahu is sabotaging the will of the people, bring them all back," and chanted: "Get out of Gaza."
The protesters also said: "We won't allow you to continue spilling the blood of soldiers and hostages for delusions about total conquest of Gaza. We won't allow this nightmare to continue. End the war. Get out of Gaza. Bring them all - all of them - home. Now."
From the police it was reported: Lawbreakers are blocking Ayalon routes in Tel Aviv - a protester who attacked police officers was arrested; the police are preparing to disperse the protesters and carry out additional arrests. Israel Police is currently handling an illegal protest on Ayalon routes and main arteries in Tel Aviv.
Dozens of lawbreakers chose not to comply with police orders, marched to Ayalon routes, blocked arteries and lit bonfires and tires on the road, while confronting police officers and endangering human lives by going down to the road during vehicle traffic.
A police officer declared the demonstration illegal. During the activity, one protester was arrested on suspicion of assaulting police officers. At this stage, the police are preparing to disperse the protesters and arrest those who disturb the peace.
It should be recalled that earlier today, a sharp and difficult discussion took place between the political echelon and the military echelon. According to reports, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir attacked the recent publications and briefings against him: "How does this look? Why are you attacking me? Why are you briefing against me in the middle of a war? And why is your son writing against me?"
The Prime Minister also responded sharply to publications about briefings by the Chief of Staff that he might resign: "Don't threaten the media with resignation. I don't accept that you keep saying that if we don't accept your plans - you'll leave."
Netanyahu dismissed his son Yair's words, presenting them as the words of an independent person: "My son is 33 years old, he's an adult."
