Israel's demonstrations escalating
Published in Youm7 on 17 - 08 - 2011

The Israeli demonstrations strongly recently escalated in different Israeli cities as hundreds of demonstrators tried to storm the Israeli Kenesset. The demonstrators also organized a protest in front of the house of the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israeli newspaper Haartez said hundreds of the Israeli demonstrators gathered in front of the headquarters of the Israeli Kenesset. It added they tried to storm the building but police forces prevented them from entering.
The newspaper highlighted the Israeli Kenesset cut its summer vacation short and held an exceptional session to discuss the demonstrations throughout Israel. The Israelis are protesting against the notable increase in prices and taxes.
The Voice of Israel radio station said a large number of the Israeli protesters gathered in front of Netanyahu's house to organize a strike. The demonstrators announced they will not dissolve their strike until their demands are met.
The Israeli radio pointed out the cautions the speaker of the Israeli Kenesset mentioned, how the demonstrations could easily turn into a state of chaos if the Israeli government failed to contain the situation. The speaker said, "There are people who are working to seize the opportunity to overthrow Netanyahu's government."
The speaker of Kenesset added the sudden increase of the Israeli budget to 5 billion Israeli Shekels (U.S. $1.4 billion) will harm the Israeli economy. Israeli opposition leader, Tzipi Livni, accused the Israeli Prime Minister of procrastination in meeting the demands of the Israeli people.
