Enrique Yaffe, who attended the protest demonstration, told Israel Today that: "Although there should have been a day of celebration after a peace declaration with an Arab state also thanks to Prime Minister Netanyahu, we come to participate and be in solidarity with all citizens affected by the difficult situation. Which does not work for the good of its citizens. '

21-year-old Noa Noy, who also took part in the demonstration, presented a different position. "The purpose of the demonstration is for Bibi to resign, for there to be a deeper change here. It is important that there is a civil awakening and that young people also have a functioning civic culture. As long as there is occupation in the country, corruption is inherent in us.
