MKs Gilon, Horowitz join stalled Ethiopian march to J'lem
MK Ilan Gilon and Nitzan Horowitz (Meretz) joined a number of marchers of Ethiopian ethnic origin making their way from Kiryat Malachi to Jerusalem Tuesday, and appealed to Jerusalem Police to allow their march to continue.The march was denied a permit by Jerusalem Police who said they feared for the marchers@@@ safety due to the lack of shoulders on the ascent to the capital.The marchers are protesting racism against Israelis of Ethiopian origin following news report earlier this month showing how a young Ethiopian family had attempted to purchase an apartment in a certain block of Kiryat Malachi but accidentally discovered that the tenants had collectively signed an agreement not to rent or sell their properties to members of the Ethiopian community.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
