Israel: Activists plan to protest at Goren Square in Petah Tikva from 19:00 Jan. 15

Event

Activists plan to protest at Goren Square in Petah Tikva from 19:00 Jan. 15. The protest has been called in response to recent media reports alleging that former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be close to a plea deal regarding three separate corruption cases against him. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely in the vicinity of Goren Square through late Jan. 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 Jan. 15.
