A series of protests will take place this week, following the release Monday of the Winograd Committee's report on the Second Lebanon War, The Jerusalem Post reported.
The protests will focus on forcing the current government out and forcing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz to resign.
Tens of thousands of protestors are expected to meet in Kikar Rabin in Tel Aviv Thursday night for a rally that will be attended by politicians from across the political spectrum, all demanding that the government quit.
Maj.-Gen. Uzi Dayan, chair of the Tafnit party, is organizing the protest, along with groups of reservists and the families of soldiers who were killed in last summer's war.
In another protest, the leaders of confrontation line communities near the Lebanese border have called for a strike of all public institutions, including schools and kindergartens, on Thursday, in protest of the government's plan to cancel tax benefits given residents as part of the post-war rehabilitation program. |
