Protests were held in 20 cities across Israel, with demonstrators also decrying proposed settlement expansion in the West Bank
Among the demonstrations, Dania Shwartz, 44, from Ramat Gan told AFP that protesters were “reclaiming” the Israeli flag.
“If you look around, there’s a lot of Israeli flags and for many years the Israeli flag was a symbol of the right,” she said. “We are patriots and we want this country to keep existing. The Israeli flags belongs to all of us – this is not a question of being right or left.” Shwartz also expressed concern that, as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, “this new government will try to pass laws that will affect my children”.
“For example the Noam party wants to delegitimise families like ours and it’s very scary,” she said, referring to one of Netanyahu’s coalition partners known for its virulently anti-gay stance.
