- Police want to move Degel HaTorah rally over safety fears.
- Relocation could impact attendance numbers.

- The rally is planned near the election date.
Israeli police are considering moving an upcoming election rally organized by the Degel HaTorah party from its planned location in the city center to the "Sofrim Complex" due to safety concerns and potential traffic disruptions. The party has not yet agreed to the proposed change, with sources indicating that a decision is pending.
The police's request stems from worries about the security implications and the potential for significant traffic jams if the rally proceeds in the original downtown venue. Such a relocation could impact the number of attendees, as the new site might be less accessible or appealing to supporters.
The rally is scheduled to take place close to the election date, adding a layer of urgency to the decision-making process. Degel HaTorah officials stated that no final decision has been made regarding the venue change, leaving the situation unresolved.
