The students read, among other things: "Either they shorten, or they strike, the Ministry of Health is a liar."
Earlier, the interns announced a one-day postponement of the submission of resignation letters, in light of a request from officials in the Ministry of Health, in light of the developments in the negotiations.
The students began the demonstration at the Cinematheque plaza and marched to the Azrieli junction, blocking Ibn Gvirol and Kaplan streets, and finally the Azrieli junction.

Eran Dotan, a medical student, chairman of the student leadership of the Prescription Organization, said: "This struggle is ours and for us.
We can not sit on the fence, and we made it clear from the first moment: if there is no shortcut - there are no students.
We, the doctors of the future, will not be ready to work 26-hour shifts.
We stand behind the interns in their uncompromising struggle to shorten the shifts, and we will come today to demonstrate our support for them and the struggle. "
