Israel Tactical: Anti-government protests slated in Tel Aviv on December 12-13; maintain heightened vigilance
Current Situation:
December 12
- Anti-government activists have called for a protest at the intersection of Moshe Sharet Street and Lipski Street, near Tel Aviv’s Ha-Medina Square at 16:00 (local time) to show support for Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, and advocate for judicial equality.
- Another demonstration is planned for 17:00 outside President Isaac Herzog’s residence at Tel Aviv’s Tzahal Street to challenge any prospective presidential pardon or sentence reduction for individuals connected to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s November 30 pardon appeal. The protest also seeks an inquiry into allegations of a quid pro quo between Netanyahu and Herzog, involving a presidential candidacy in exchange for a pre-conviction pardon.
December 13
