Israel Tactical: Demonstration slated in front of US Embassy’s Tel Aviv Branch office at 18:00 on April 15; allot for disruptions

Current Situation:

  • The civil society organization “Peace Now” is calling for a demonstration in front of the Tel Aviv Branch Office of the US Embassy, located on HaYarkon Street 71, at 18:00 (local time) on April 15. 
  • The event calls on US President Joe Biden to advance a “regional peace agreement” rather than facilitate Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu’s alleged intent to open another war front against Iran in the aftermath of the April 14 strikes targeting Israel. 

Assessments & Forecast:

Anti-government groups periodically gather in front of the US Embassy’s Tel Aviv branch office to lobby for Washington’s support of their policy positions vis-a-vis the Israeli government. For instance, on April 12, about a dozen activists peacefully gathered in front of the compound to call on Biden to pressure PM Netanyahu for efforts toward a hostage deal with Hamas. The event caused minor traffic disruptions. FORECAST: Given precedent, the current demonstrations will attract a participation rate of up to the low dozens. It will likely transpire without unrest. Some activists may, however, gather on the road itself, thereby causing localized traffic disruptions.  

Recommendations:

Those operating or residing in Tel Aviv on April 15 are advised to allot for disruptions near the US Embassy’s Tel Aviv Branch Office due to the slated demonstration.
