A final decision on whether thousands of Gur Hasidim will protest again outside Prison 10 is expected in the coming hours, following a meeting between the Gur Rebbe and a Toldot Aharon activist, according to a report. The potential rally would be in response to the continued detention of a yeshiva student.
The Gur Rebbe met overnight with Shimon Shisha, a prominent activist from the Toldot Aharon community and the Eda Haredit, to discuss the possibility of another mass protest outside Prison 10 in Beit Lid. A final decision on whether to proceed is expected within hours, according to a report.
The potential rally follows earlier reports that the Rebbe was planning a major demonstration for Monday night. The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday that the Rebbe intended to lead tens of thousands of followers in protest.
The Haredi protest movement, which has been ongoing for weeks, demands the release of a yeshiva student whose detention has sparked widespread demonstrations. Thousands of Gur Hasidim have previously gathered outside the prison, in some cases facing counter-protesters.
The timeline for any decision remains unclear, but organizers are reportedly preparing for a possible large-scale turnout.
