Israel: Activists plan to protest outside Supreme Court in Jerusalem March 15

Event

Activists plan to protest outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem from 09:00 March 15 to oppose the eviction of Palestinians from their homes in Masafer Yatta, the West Bank. Authorities plan to convert the area into a training ground for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Supreme Court the morning of March 15. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area March 15.
