Israel’s Knesset opened its summer session on Monday, also hailed as “Disruption Day” by anti-government protesters, who held demonstrations at multiple locations throughout the country.
At least 12 people were arrested after clashes broke out between police and protesters who blocked the main highway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
“Today we are doing [this] because we understand that in order for this country to continue to exist, this government must go,” said the Brothers in Arms organization.
Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch called the protesters “anarchists,” and said their actions were harming the country
