Initial reports indicate that dairy farmers protesting in Jerusalem attempted to enter the Finance Ministry offices.
Farmers are demonstrating against reforms proposed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, including plans to scrap tariffs on imported milk for an extended period of time.
Smotrich's broader proposal would dismantle Israel's centralized dairy industry framework, while cutting milk production by 500 million liters and lowering the price per liter of cow's milk.
