Meretz activists demonstrated opposite the presidential residence in Jerusalem Monday night in protest over the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meretz Chairperson Zehava Galon said “We oppose the royal welcome for Putin and call to our leaders to avoid meeting him as long as Russia continues to assist Assad’s massacres. Human life means nothing to Putin and human rights are nothing but a recommendation as far as he is concerned. Israel should condemn his policies instead of giving him State guardianship.”
