Israeli police prevent activists from helping Palestinian olive harvesters

Israeli police arrested dozens of activists from NGO Standing Together and and human rights organisation Rabbis for Human Rights  on Tuesday.

The activists were on their way to join Palestinian olive harvesters near the village of Burin, in the West Bank.

Burin is an area that has been repeatedly attacked by Israeli settlers, and was declared a closed military zone on Friday, just before hundreds of Israeli activists were set to join a harvest.

"This is Ben-Gvir's police, this is the police of the occupation," Standing Together said. "They promote pogroms and violence; we promote a different path of peace."
