Police officers barred several individuals from entering the Tel Aviv Pride March because they wore shirts and carried signs with protest messages, photographer Udi Salmanovich reported at 13:51 Jerusalem time. The police cited the political messages on their clothing as grounds for exclusion.
New reports from the Tel Aviv Pride March indicate that police are barring multiple attendees, not just individuals, from entering the parade with protest-related clothing and signs. Photographer Udi Salmanovich documented the scene at 13:51 Jerusalem time. This follows earlier reports that a young woman was denied entry due to an anti-Ben Gvir shirt, as The Zioneer reported at 12:38 Jerusalem time. The scale of the restrictions appears to be growing, with police citing political messages as the basis for exclusion, though official police confirmation has not yet been provided.
