Detention extended for suspect in protester assault: 'One side of the nation decided the junction belongs to them 24/7'

Lihia Gordon|
The detention of a young man suspected of attacking 74-year-old protester Kobi Yifat yesterday during a demonstration for the hostages in Tel Aviv has been extended by two days. Attorney Dorit Derman, who represents the suspect, said, "He was raised in an ultra-Orthodox home, a good kid. What happened happened and it's very unfortunate. Since the judicial reform began, one side of the nation decided that the most central street junction in the world belongs to them 24/7, and they do whatever they want there whenever they want, without mandatory regulation. There are laws. He was prevented from exercising his right to use the road normally. There was no criminal intent, and there is remorse."
