On Wednesday, the police refused to approve a Jewish-Arab demonstration that was scheduled to take place at Habima Square in Tel Aviv on Thursday. It was organized by Standing Together and Women Wage Peace. These organizations appealed to the commander of the police's Tel Aviv district, Maj, Gen. Peretz Amar, asking him to approve the scheduled march and demonstration, even though such a demonstration does not require a permit.

The High Court of Justice issued a temporary injunction against Ben-Gvir on Wednesday determining that he had attempted to stop a demonstration by Hadash in Tel Aviv, even though he was prohibited from intervening in concrete decisions relating to the freedom to protest or demonstrate. Following the police's refusal to permit the demonstration, these organizations will submit a similar request next week.

"A police force that refuses to allow a Jewish-Arab peace march is a political police force, protecting a minister who fears peace and prefers unending war," said Alon Lee-Green, co-national director at Standing Together. "If the police fears for our wellbeing, let them do their job and protect our march and rally."

Women Making Peace said that "refusing to approve the rally at Habima Square is unreasonable, and violates our right to make our voice heard in the public sphere in favor of a political solution. Thus far, the police have provided no reasons for their refusal. Suspicion arises that these are instructions from above. Only two weeks ago, a similar rally was held there, which concluded without a single problem."

It feels like the neocolony is getting closer to civil war.
