Already at 6:30 a.m., a gathering began in Tel Aviv’s Hamima Square for a march that will split into several roads in the city. At 7:00 a.m. extensive roadblocks began on a number of roads, intersections and hubs across the country.
At 4:00 p.m., disruptions to train traffic began, which the masterminds tried to do by blocking the roads and creating congestion at the stations, and starting at 7:00 p.m., the protesters returned to the main protest centers from the past months in the cities and intersections.
Kaplan Force held a briefing for the activists, in which it was stated: “We are in dramatic days and historic moments. Faced with a government that has gone off the rails and is rushing to dismantle democracy, there are only us, the citizens, who can stop the dictatorship train. That is why we will arrive en masse tomorrow at 4:30 p.m., to protest Legal, democratic, stubborn, and effective at the platforms of five stations of the Israel Railways: Haifa, Center of the Eight, Binyamina, Herzliya, Tel Aviv HaShalom, and Lod station. The sights of the demonstration on the train, like in Israel, frighten the government. They symbolize that the citizens are the sovereign, and that Israel is a country of the people and not of the dictatorship. The demonstrations on the train take place under a roof, and there are drink machines and a pleasant breeze, so all you need to bring is the Israeli flag, the protest shirt, the drum and the litter, and simply purchase the cheapest ticket and go down to the train platform and shout that the dictatorship will not be allowed to pass. It is recommended to have earplugs as well.”
The high-tech protest headquarters announced in advance of the day of resistance that “the attempted coup caused enormous damage to high-tech and the Israeli economy. All of us, all citizens of Israel, for or against, have paid and will continue to pay tens of thousands of shekels out of our pockets because of the power intoxication of the government ministers and the one who heads it. The fragrance of the messianic dictatorship that is already being built here It is felt in the air in various decisions on the part of the government. Israeli high-tech – companies and workers are mobilized in the days close to the deadline – defense of Israeli democracy.”
