Avigdor Liberman joins supporters as haredi protesters target Jerusalem café for fifth week

Avigdor Liberman joined supporters outside a Jerusalem café as ultra-Orthodox, or haredi, protesters demonstrated at the location for the fifth consecutive Saturday. The ongoing protests have drawn counter-responses, with customers at the café shouting "Enlist, enlist" at the demonstrators.

The demonstrations center on the contentious issue of military conscription, reflecting deep societal divisions over the exemption of haredi men from military service. The presence of high-profile political figures like Liberman highlights the political friction surrounding the weekly protests.
