The protest group 'Mothers on the Frontline' held a demonstration Friday afternoon at the entrance to Bnei Brak, under the slogan 'No rights without duties.' The protest follows a previous threat by the group to block roads into Haredi cities.
The protest group 'Mothers on the Frontline' staged a demonstration Friday afternoon at the entrance to Bnei Brak, under the banner 'No rights without duties.' The event was documented by photographer Chanan Pogal.
As The Zioneer reported Thursday, the group had threatened to block entrances to Bnei Brak and other Haredi cities, warning 'blockades will be met with blockades,' in response to a planned Haredi vehicle convoy protest. On Friday morning, Haredi leaders warned they would not remain silent over the threatened blockade.
Friday's protest appears to be a softer version of the threatened road closures — a demonstration at the city entrance, not a full blockade. No reports of traffic disruption or counter-protests have emerged so far.
