Event

Unionized teachers plan to strike nationwide June 22 to demand higher salaries and better working conditions. While organizers have not issued specific calls to protest, striking teachers will likely demonstrate outside the Ministry of Education in Jerusalem and at schools and public squares nationwide. Hundreds of individuals participated in the previous round of demonstrations.

Increased security and localized road travel disruptions are likely near all potential protest locations June 22. Clashes are possible if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Exercise increased vigilance near popular protest locations and liaise with trusted contacts for updated information on possible demonstration venues. Anticipate road travel disruptions near any gatherings that may materialize. Heed the instructions of local security personnel.
