Protests

This marks the eighth consecutive week of protests. Several MKs, including Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman, have joined counterprotests in previous weeks.

Speakers included Jewish leaders and activists, with the rally focused on demanding greater security, confronting rising antisemitism, and demonstrating that Jews and our allies will stand together. 

Israel outlaws all political violence – whether committed by Palestinians or Jews, right-wingers or left-wingers, in the territories or in major cities.

Among the signs held by the protesters were ones reading "No place for Israel in a good world" and "Israelis are baby killers."

Rabbi Yossi Gabai told The Post that the center, which opened two weeks ago, has been targeted by individuals protesting its presence. 

The protest follows an overnight incident in which a woman glued the entrance to Jerusalem's Basimta cafe shut, delaying its opening by 40 minutes.

Shas MK Moshe Abutbul described the draft dodger as a "yeshiva guy" who approached the police to assist in an ongoing investigation, demanding that such procedures be changed to avoid arrests.

Officers ordered protesters to clear the roadway as demonstrations disrupted traffic near the light rail construction site.

Minoo, a left-wing student at a university in Tehran, told The Media Line that the January uprising "demonstrated how millions of people...could overthrow the regime."
