Cafe Basmita

Following a series of violent confrontations, the management of the Jerusalem cafe will decide whether to stop operations on Saturdays. The psychological toll is weighing on the management, who desire a quiet routine. Alongside the protests, dozens of customers have arrived every Saturday to support the cafe.

The suspect was arrested on suspicion of involvement in graffiti, littering, and damaging the lock of the cafe, which has been a focal point for protests between ultra-Orthodox and secular individuals over its operation on Saturdays.
