Police briefly sought to forbid anti-war protesters from displaying “hostages signs” or “pictures of children or babies from Gaza” as a condition for the approval of ש demonstration scheduled for Thursday in Tel Aviv, but then backtracked on their demands.

In a letter sent on Sunday to organizers and first obtained by Haaretz, police also tried to preemptively prohibit demonstrators from waving signs with the words “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” on them.
