Thunberg detained by Norway police during demonstration
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Norwegian police on Wednesday detained environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg during a demonstration in Oslo, a Reuters eyewitness said.
Protesters blocked the main highway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem early Wednesday, blocking rush hour traffic for about an hour. At busy train stations in Tel Aviv , protesters prevented trains from departing by blocking their doors, Israel i media reported. Police said four protesters were arrested for disturbing the peace.
In response, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir , an ultranationalist, called on police to prevent the road blockages, labeling the protesters “anarchists.'' The rival sides are digging in, deepening one of Israel 's worst domestic crises. The legal overhaul has sparked an unprecedented uproar, with weeks of mass protests, criticism from legal experts, business leaders and the security establishment — as well as concern from international allies.
The clash comes as Israel and the Palestinians are mired in a new round of deadly violence and as Netanyahu 's government, its most right-wing ever, is beginning to show early cracks just two months into its tenure.
Neither side appears to be backing down. The government has dismissed calls to freeze the overhaul and make way for dialogue and the protest organizers have pledged to intensify their fight until the plan is scrapped.
