Israel: Protest march planned from Ayalon Mall in Ramat Gan to Bnei Brak from 21:00 May 17

Event

Anti-government protesters plan to march from Ayalon Mall in Ramat Gan to Bnei Brak at 21:00 on May 17. The purpose of the march is to protest against the current government.

The amount of participants the event may draw remains unclear, but large crowds are likely to attend. The exact march route has not been announced. Local police will close some roads to facilitate the march from 18:00, causing localized transport disruption. Increased security measures are likely. 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 the evening of May 17.
