Israel: Members of Israel Bar Association plan to strike and protest outside Tel Aviv District Court March 26

Event

Members of the Israel Bar Association plan to strike and protest outside Tel Aviv District Court from 11:30 March 26. The purpose of the action is to denounce the government's judicial reform, which includes a proposition to remove the Israel Bar Association from the Judicial Selection Committee in charge of appointing judges. The amount of participants the event may draw is unclear.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Tel Aviv District Court through March 26. 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 instructions from authorities. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area March 26.
