Armed Settler Convoy of Hundreds Blocks Tel Aviv Streets Ahead of Election
Around 100 white trucks and SUVs driven by heavily armed settlers seized central Tel Aviv, halting traffic near the defense headquarters.
In the days before the national vote, a large convoy of white vehicles staffed by armed settlers gathered around the defense headquarters in central Tel Aviv and shut down surrounding streets. The display was intended to signal the hard-right’s fear of a possible electoral loss. Participants warned that their settlement expansion and land-confiscation plans could be threatened. The maneuver underscores growing tension between settler groups and authorities as the election approaches.
Why it matters
The convoy shows how settler groups are using forceful intimidation to influence the election and protect their land-grab policies.
