Protesters Attempt to Breach Police Barrier Near Knesset
Protesters on Monday afternoon gathered in large numbers and attempted to breach a police barrier, heading toward the Knesset, following the vote in the Knesset that passed. The police responded swiftly to the situation, as hundreds of demonstrators participated in an unauthorized procession, blocking the road that leads to the Begin highway in the city.
The police report stated that the protesters disregarded legal restrictions and safety measures, causing potential risks to themselves and others on the road. They managed to obstruct the Kiryat Moshe interchange area on the Begin highway, leading to disruptions in traffic flow.
At the location near the Knesset, where the protest was concentrated, demonstrators tried to forcefully breach the police blockade and make their way toward the Knesset building. However, the police were well-prepared to handle the situation and effectively pushed back the protesters, ensuring that the barricades remained intact and no unauthorized access was granted.
Throughout the events, there were ongoing discussions between protest organizers and law enforcement representatives, but an agreement could not be reached to disperse the demonstrators peacefully. Consequently, the police used appropriate measures to control the situation and maintain order.
