| 2025-03-26 |
| [IsraelTimes] Police arrest six protesters during an anti-government demonstration near the Knesset building in Jerusalem earlier today. Demonstrators blocking roads near government buildings were dragged off the sidewalk by police officers. The demonstrators are protesting the 2025 state budget, which is being voted on inside the Knesset, and calling for the government to reach a deal to bring back the hostages from Gaza. A law enforcement spokesman says that some demonstrators attempted to block traffic by parking their cars in the middle of the road, and adds that cops attempting to tow the vehicles were met with resistance from the protesters. “So far, the police have arrested six suspects for disturbing public order and they were taken for questioning at the police station,” the spokesman says. A lawyers’ network representing detained anti-government protesters accuses police of using excessive force to carry out arrests, saying they tore demonstrators’ clothing unnecessarily. |
