Trump's USA Protests against Trump
Over 3,000 "No Kings" protests expected in the US
More than 3,100 "No Kings" demonstrations are planned across the US on Saturday, several media outlets report.
The demonstrations have already begun in some places, including in the capital, Washington DC.
The protests are aimed at President Donald Trump and are the third of their kind since he began his second term. Last year, around seven million people participated, and this year, up to nine million are expected, according to Politico.
The state of Minnesota is expected to be at the center. The state capital, St. Paul, has been designated as the hub of the demonstrations, and among other things, artist Bruce Springsteen is scheduled to perform a song he wrote after Renée Good and Alex Pretti were shot dead by federal immigration agents earlier this winter.
The demonstrations have also spread outside the US, writes CNN. In the Spanish capital Madrid, protests are taking place against Donald Trump, and demonstrations are also taking place in Italy, France and Germany.
Political situation in Israel
Israeli protests against the war – dozens arrested
Anti-war demonstrations are taking place in several places in Israel on Saturday evening, reports Haaretz. The largest is taking place in Tel Aviv, where the police have dispersed demonstrators with force, according to the newspaper.
Opposition leader Yair Golan sharply criticizes the actions of the police.
“Tonight in Habima Square and in Haifa, we see once again how Ben-Gvir’s (editor’s note: Israeli president) militias are exercising gross violence against law-abiding citizens, even by arresting a 70-year-old woman,” he says.
According to AFP, hundreds of people have gathered in Tel Aviv. Under the martial law in force in the country, gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited.
– We are four weeks into the war and no one knows what the final goal is, one of the protesters in Tel Aviv told AFP.
A total of 13 people have been arrested in the city.
Sources: French police thwart bomb attack at bank
Police in France managed to thwart a bomb attack on Bank of America's French headquarters in Paris last night, sources told Le Parisien.
Shortly before 3:30 a.m., a man was arrested after placing a homemade explosive device outside the bank. It consisted of five liters of liquid and an ignition device that the man was trying to light with a lighter.
The arrested man says in questioning that he received the assignment on Snapchat and that someone paid him 600 euros, equivalent to 6,500 kronor, for the assignment.
Since the Iran war began on February 28, the French police have been urged to be more vigilant.
