[YNet] - Israeli police made a wave of arrests following mass, anti-government rallies held in Jerusalem in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening.It's like a weekly concert Thousands of protesters gathered at Charles Clore Park in Tel Aviv and in front of Prime Minister's Residence in Jerusalem with signs reading "Out of touch. We’re fed up," in response to what they see as a bungled government response to the economic fallout from the new coronavirus. We demand the Prime Minister wave his magic wand and banish the virus! ...Israel Police said 13 protesters had been arrested at Habima Square in Tel Aviv and 15 demonstrators had been detained at Paris Square in Jerusalem. Police said they will ask the court to extend the remand of the protester who attacked an officer in Jerusalem and six demonstrators accused of damaging property during the rally in Tel Aviv. Property rights over People Rights!:-) During Saturday's protests, police used water cannons to disperse the crowd of 1,500 people around Netanyahu's residence, while in Tel Aviv, police used tear gas to try to stop the demonstrators from marching through the streets.
