Standing Together Activists Protest Religious Zionist Party Headquarters

Activists from the left-wing Standing Together movement protested at the Religious Zionist Party headquarters in Shoham on August 5, 2026. Protesters used red paint on their hands to simulate blood while chanting slogans that accused Bezalel Smotrich and the government of financing settler violence and terror.

The Religious Zionist Party claimed that the protesters attempted to violently breach the building, which prompted party leadership to instruct employees to remain in their offices. Standing Together disputed these allegations, asserting that the doors were not locked and staff members were free to move.

Israel Police reported that the group had already dispersed by the time officers arrived, describing the gathering as a small group of participants posing for photographs. In response to the event, the Religious Zionist Party attributed the protest to incitement by Yair Golan and Gadi Eisenkot and called on opposition leaders to condemn the action.
