Likud MK urges Haredim to protest near top justice officials' homes

Likud MK Tali Gottlieb called on the Haredi public on Tuesday evening to change how it protests over the draft law and daycare budget issues. In a post on X, she urged them to stop demonstrations that, in her words, harm the wider public and instead direct their anger at senior legal and judicial officials.

“I suggest to our Haredi brothers to demonstrate against the persecutors and inciters against them, it will be much more effective,” Gottlieb wrote. She said the protests should be organized in areas near the homes of Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, Gil Limon, Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit, and Supreme Court Justice Daphne Barak-Erez, among others.

Gottlieb argued that focusing pressure on these figures would achieve the desired result without disrupting ordinary Israelis. “Protests that disrupt public order by those who turned you into a ‘disease’ in Israeli society,” she wrote, “will hurt the country’s citizens. But in the vicinity of those persecuting you, there will be complete quiet. Think about it.”
