Israel: Teachers plan to protest outside finance ministry in Jerusalem Sept. 1

Event

Teachers plan to protest outside the Ministry of Finance in Jerusalem from 11:00 Sept. 1 to demand higher salaries. Protesters claim that authorities have not allocated sufficient funds for teachers and the education sector. Hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Ministry of Finance through the afternoon of Sept. 1. 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 to reach destinations near the affected area Sept. 1.
