AdvertisementThousands of protestors gathered in the streets of Tel Aviv, Israel on Saturday to protest against the Israeli government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. 'We are part of a very large public which is feeling growing distress and wants to demonstrate and simply does not believe the promises.' Performing arts groups were also present as the leisure and entertainment sectors have been hit hard by the crisis. Following calls to improve public life and the country's economic situation, Israel lifted some lockdown restrictions in May after a month-and-a-half in strict lockdown. Israel recorded 1,500 new infections on Friday, the highest number of daily cases registered so far by the country.
