Dozens protested on Monday against President Shimon Peres’ visit to Nazareth. The protestors waved Palestinian flags, denounced Peres and held a sign that read: “Peres get out of here,” as his car drove by. Three demonstrators were arrested when clashes broke out with the police.
According to police, the demonstration was illegal. During the demonstration protestors attacked a police officer.
Peres was visiting the Nazareth cultural center at the invitation of the municipality in order to hear residents’ demands on development of local tourism, education and industry.

Certain political and social groups had declared their intention of protesting against the visit as early as last week and demanded that the visit be cancelled.
Protestors also held up signs that read “We don’t want murderers in Nazareth,” “Nazareth united against the criminal Peres,” “We won’t forget the shahids (martyrs) of Kafr Kana,” and even “the State of Israel is a terrorist state.”
One of the demonstrators told Ynet that the protestors saw Peres as the one responsible for the “Kafr Kana massacre,” which occurred in southern Lebanon in 1996 during Operation Grapes of Wrath when Peres was prime minister.
