About a thousand people protested against the judicial reform in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea on Saturday after violent clashes between police and protesters that happened there on Friday night.
About a thousand demonstrators arrived in Caesarea near Netanyahu’s house, blocking the traffic on a main road and holding signs that read “We are all Gidi”, referring to the 21-year-old Gidi Baran who was arrested on Friday night amid the clashes.
The clashes broke out as Israel Police was trying to use crowd dispersal methods at the protest.
Four demonstrators were arrested, including Moshe Radman, one of the leaders of the hi-tech protest and one of the organizers of Saturday’s demonstration in Caesarea.
Later on Friday night, 14 more protesters were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct, when hundreds of people gathered at the police station in Hadera and blocked the station gate, in protest of the clashes in Caesarea.

Aside from the protest in Caesarea, the main demonstration on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv was set to be held as usual on Saturday night. The protest will be addressed by former minister Limor Livnat, journalist Mickey Rosenthal, Chairwoman of the LGBT Association Hila Parr, and Brig.-Gen. (res.) David Agmon, former director of Netanyahu’s office. Radman, one of the leaders of the hi-tech protest, who was arrested and injured on Friday night in the demonstration in Caesarea, was added to the list of speakers.
The organizers of the Kaplan protest announced that this week’s demonstration will open with a minute of silence and be held in a different manner than usual due to the death of the three soldiers at the Egyptian border.
