מחאה בימי הקורונה - מרווח אך ללא אישורדוברות משטרה

One man was arrested during protests against Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein in protest of his refusal to convene the plenary to vote on a decision to appoint an Arrangements Committee.

Police say about 200 protesters at the site violated the Department of Health's directives banning gatherings of more than 10 people.

Protest organizers say they did not violate the Health Ministry's instructions because they were sitting in their vehicles.

"Public health matters to us," the organizers claimed, "there are thousands of protesters, civilians who are demonstrating with their blood."

"It is important to emphasize, there is no violation of the Ministry of Health's instructions when people are sitting in their vehicles. Under the corona crisis we see how bright the black flag is," they added.
