Thousands took part in demonstrations on Saturday evening against the Israeli government's impending approval of the natural gas plan . A further 1,000 demonstrated in Haifa, around 500 took to the streets in Jerusalem, and smaller protests even took place in Zichron Ya'akov and Rosh Pina, with 200 and 100 people turning out respectively. Protesters carried signs in Hebrew saying "No more robbery," "We will not be silent" and "Transparency," as well as shouting out slogans against the "gas robbery" and against tycoons. The protest in Tel Aviv opened with a memorial ceremony in honor of those killed in Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris and in a shooting attack in the South Hebron Hills on the same day.
