For the last 13 Saturday nights, 63-year-old A.—we cannot legally disclose his name—has driven with his wife 20 miles to Kaplan Street in central Tel Aviv to join growing protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extreme right-wing government coalition.
He intended to be there again this Saturday, but with Israel on alert for more clashes with Palestinians in East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon in this violent week, A. decided to give it a miss. Like other protesters, he expects the movement to regain its momentum next week.
