PT: Israeli settlers plan protest march in West Bank April 10
Israeli settlers plan protest march in West Bank, PT, April 10. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Israeli settlers plan to march from Tapuach Junction to Evyatar in the West Bank April 10 to denounce the increased attacks on settlements in recent weeks. Seven ministers are expected to participate in the march, including Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, and Minister of Religious Affairs Michael Malchiali. The start time of the action is unclear. Thousands of individuals could attend the event.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely in the affected area April 10. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse. Authorities may use water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, or live ammunition to disperse unruly crowds or enforce no-go zones.
Advice
Avoid the protest march due to the possibility of violence. Keep away from areas where security personnel appear to be deploying. If unrest erupts nearby, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Heed all instructions from security personnel and allow extra time to reach destinations near the affected area.
