companies, announced that it would permit interested employees to join protests
against the government and demand a prisoner exchange deal, scheduled in
Jerusalem next week, Khaberni reported.
The newspaper stated that companies "will
allow employees to be absent or leave early to participate in the protests,
without deducting from their entitled leaves."

Massive demonstrations were launched in Tel
Aviv on Saturday evening, attended by tens of thousands of settlers, to
pressure the Netanyahu government to conclude a prisoner exchange deal with
Hamas and hold early elections.
During the protest, settlers restricted themselves,
