Israeli Police Disperse Antiwar Protest in Tel Aviv, Arresting 17 People

HeadlineApr 06, 2026

Israeli police forcibly dispersed an antiwar protest in Tel Aviv Saturday, arresting 17 people, even after Israel’s High Court ruled the demonstration could proceed. Hundreds of Israelis gathered at Habima Square to protest the government’s war on Iran, with the court permitting a rally of more than 600 people. Police still moved to break up the protest, citing Iranian missile threats, and removed protesters from the square. Protests also took place in Haifa and Jerusalem. After headlines, we’ll go to Tel Aviv to speak with an organizer of Saturday’s antiwar protests in Israel.
