A small group of left-wing protesters from the “Blocking the Coup” movement obstructed the road leading to the Finance, Interior, and Economy Ministries on Tuesday morning. The protesters chained themselves to each other and stood in the middle of Rechov Bank Yisrael, aiming to prevent government employees from reaching their work offices. The police who were called to the scene ordered the protesters to move to the sidewalks or be forcefully evicted from the road. In response, the protesters sat down on the road. After some time, the police began to evacuate them using force and ten of the protesters were arrested. The movement issued a statement: “This is a wake-up call. Start addressing the real problems of Israeli citizens – or your government will lose its legitimacy. Stop rushing toward a messianic dictatorship and start establishing a true democracy. Until that happens, we will continue to block the coup with our bodies. We are absolutely determined to prevent the destruction of our future and we won’t stop until the halt of the coup.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
