Water cannon used to disperse anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv

Authorities used a water cannon to disperse anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv on Saturday night (18 May).

It came shortly after Benny Gantz, a popular centrist member of Israel’s three-member war cabinet, threatened to resign from the government if it does not adopt a new plan in three weeks’ time for the war in Gaza, a decision that would leave Prime Minister Netanyahu more reliant on far-right allies.
