Disabled demonstrate in northern Tel Aviv

The Knesset responded to the appeal by the disabled to raise their pension to the minimum wage by telling the High Court of Justice that handicap must first "prove that they can not exist from NIS 2,342."

Many disabled people and their supporters found the Knesset's response outrageous, deciding to demonstrate at Tel Aviv's Rokach-Namir junction during rush hour, near the demonstration in support of Netanyahu.

Haindicap advocate Alex Friedman stated, "Only two weeks ago, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon approached me personally and pledged to keep his promise to allocate NIS 4 billion," he said. "He took back his promise on the same day, during the Neto Family conference, so what happened now?"
