Hundreds of protesters tonight (Wednesday) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and block the road near the prime minister's residence in the capital.
The organizers of the spontaneous demonstration, protesting against the restrictions on the demonstrations, said: "This is a protest against a criminal defendant's attempt to take democracy hostage to prevent the demonstrations against him in Balfour."
The Kreim Minister movement stated that: "Bibi, even if you limit the demonstrations to one meter and lower the shelter on the whole country, you will not silence us.
We will demonstrate against you anytime, anywhere until you leave. '
Earlier in Israel Today, it was reported that the meaning of the law passed in the Knesset yesterday, an amendment to the Corona Law, is that the law authorizes and gives the government the opportunity to install regulations that restrict various actions, including demonstrations.
The intention is to limit demonstrations to up to 1,000 techs from home in a gathering of up to 20 people.
However, the very enactment of the law does not prevent demonstrations.
What can limit demonstrations are regulations that will be installed by virtue of it, something that has not happened so far.
Apart from the possibility of installing such regulations, since according to the transitional provisions of the amendment to the Corona Powers Act, a special state of emergency has been declared, there is a limit of gathering in open space in capsules of up to 20 people.
