Protesters tie themselves to Knesset entrance gates

A group of some 15 protesters tied themselves to the entrance of the Knesset in Jerusalem on Thursday morning as part of a protest against the government's policies, Hebrew media reported.

Five of the protesters were detained and will be questioned.

"Instead of solving the housing crisis, fighting the cost of living and restoring the education system - the members of the coalition are advancing a regime coup, forming dangerous militias of thugs, thwarting legislation that would protect women and deliberately leading us all into a civil war out of narrow interests," the protesters stated.
