MK Itzik Shmuli (Zionist Union) has expressed anger at the police decision not to allow the disabled to block roads as part of their bid for more government assistance. Shmuli said, "It is our duty to help the disabled continue to express their protest with all their might, including the possibility of blocking roads in order to push for a solution that they have been waiting for for decades."
He explained, "The police should not serve as a political tool in the hands of the political echelon to bury the protest. A pleasant demonstration in the park will not bring a solution for the disabled but rather subdue them."
