Israeli human rights lawyer warns other countries: “Pay close attention to what is going on in Israel because you’re next”
The municipality of Tel Aviv found itself at the center of serious controversy when a photo of a green beach chair that read “RESERVED FOR VACCINATED PEOPLE ONLY” in English went viral internationally.
The Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality told ALL ISRAEL NEWS the city removed the chairs immediately after officials realized their mistake.
“The writing on the chairs represented part of a campaign to support vaccinations among the wider public,” Eytan Halon, head of International Press for the municipality, told us. “We made an error with regards to the wording and the message was interpreted differently than intended. Accordingly, we worked quickly to remove the writing yesterday and it will be replaced in the coming days.”
