Haredi protest demands an end to arrests of Torah students, journalist says

Yishai Cohen, a commentator for the Haredi news site Kikar HaShabbat, was interviewed on the morning program of Channel 12 News to sum up the Haredi “car protest.”

Cohen said the movement’s only demand is to stop the arrests of Torah students. He framed the issue as a defense of people who study Torah, saying they protect everyone.

The item presents Cohen’s remarks as the central explanation of the protest and includes a clip from the Channel 12 segment. No additional details were provided about the scope of the demonstrations or any response from authorities.
