It is fake blood flowing Monday into a fountain in Trump Square in Petah Tikva, in central Israel. “We will pay for the annexation by blood,” the militants also wrote in red letters. The square was renamed in honor of Donald Trump last year, two years after the president transferred the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, de facto recognizing the city as the capital of Israel.
The vandalization of the fountain is only the latest protest action against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to annex already occupied Palestinian territories.
“There are phases that are tipping points. We will never forget our fear of terrorist attacks during our childhood,” protesters told Channel 12, referring to waves of Palestinian violence in the past 30 years. years.
“The annexation will create an economic and security disaster, and all because of politicians playing with fire at the expense of citizens in the midst of an economic crisis,” they said, visibly referring to international threats in response to the annexation.
This protest comes two days before the key deadline of July 1, the date from which the Israeli government must decide on its annexation project, advocated by the Trump administration’s peace plan.
