Avigdor Liberman joins supporters as haredi protesters target Jerusalem café for fifth week
Customers shouted “Enlist, enlist” as haredi protesters demonstrated outside the Jerusalem café for a fifth consecutive Saturday.
The chairman of Yisrael Beytenu, Avigdor Liberman, joined supporters at Café Basimta on Saturday, the fifth week of protests targeting the Jerusalem café for its decision to remain open on Shabbat. Extremist haredi protesters clashed with the café's supporters outside the establishment. Liberman condemned the demonstrations, stating that the owners' right to operate their business should not be an act of civic courage.
He also suggested that the protesters should direct their energy towards fighting terrorism instead of targeting peaceful citizens.
