Yesha council is set to distribute orange bracelets inscribed with "Let the nation decide" as their latest form of anti-disengagement protest. Settler leaders are already wearing the bracelet
About 200 buses will be bringing protestors to the event from all across the country. Gush Katif children are also expected to take part in the demonstration and will come on stage carrying torches.
As Ynet reported, the Yesha Council has presented a new orange bracelet as part of its campaign for a national referendum on the disengagement plan. The bracelet will be offered for sale during Monday’s event.
Meanwhile, Kibbutz members who also opposed the Gaza pullout plan will hold their own demonstration in northern Israel at 18:00 local time Monday.
