Anti-war voices in Israel have once again risen from Tel Aviv. Hundreds of protesters gathered at Habima Square, demanding an end to Israel's attacks on Iran, Lebanon, the occupied West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, while the police took extensive security measures. Eymen Avde, an Israeli lawmaker of Palestinian descent who participated in the demonstration, harshly criticized the opposition and called for peace.
A group of protesters in Tel Aviv, Israel, held an anti-war demonstration demanding an end to attacks on Iran and Lebanon, as well as the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
THEY GATHERED IN HABIMA SQUARE
Several hundred Israelis came together at Habima Square, one of the symbolic points of the city, at the call of civil society organizations. Although some polls indicate that the majority of Israelis support attacks on Iran and Lebanon, the protesters opposed the government's policies.
CALL FOR “END TO ATTACKS”
The demonstrators called for the Israeli army to immediately cease its attacks on regional countries and the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
POLICE TOOK EXTENSIVE SECURITY MEASURES
While intense security measures were noticeable at the protest site, numerous police teams were deployed in the square. Some protesters chanted slogans in front of police vehicles.
PHOTOS OF KILLED CHILDREN WERE CARRIED
A group of about 200 people drew attention by carrying photos of children who lost their lives in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Iran.
CRITICISM OF THE OPPOSITION FROM EYMEN AVDE
Eymen Avde, an Israeli lawmaker of Palestinian descent who participated in the demonstration, criticized opposition parties in his speech. Avde stated, “There is no need for a Jewish-Arab partnership for war, but it is necessary for peace. Our problem is that we have a weak opposition that cannot offer a moral alternative to the government.”
On the other hand, the Israeli Supreme Court limited participation in the protest to 1,000 people.
