Protesters Disrupt Minister Ben-Gvir's Speech at Tel Aviv University

A group of far-left activists from the student organization "Standing Together" attempted to disrupt a conference featuring Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir at Tel Aviv University on Sunday. As Ben-Gvir took the stage before hundreds of students, the activists stood on chairs, shouting slogans against him and trying to prevent him from speaking. A confrontation ensued between the protesters and the minister's supporters present at the venue. Some activists lay on the floor near the stage, chanting "Fascism will not pass" at Ben-Gvir. They also accused him, stating, "Your policy kills people, leads to a record in crime victims, to an increase in femicide. You endanger all our lives." Other activists shouted, "Terror supporter, get out of here."

Following the event, "Standing Together" released a statement taking pride in their attempt to prevent Ben-Gvir from speaking on campus and urged people to vote against him in upcoming elections. "Tonight we prevented the convicted terror supporter from speaking on our campus, next Tuesday we will go out to vote to kick him and the Kahanists out of the government," the group stated. They further claimed, "People like this are not welcome at the university, he is not legitimate here or anywhere else." The activists concluded their statement with a call for the government's removal, saying, "We kicked him out, and we will kick out the Kahanist government with him."
