Following the removal of the statue from Paris Square in Jerusalem, the mayor of Tel-Aviv, Ron Huldai decided to invite artist Itay Zalait to place the statue at Rabin Square. The statue arrived at Rabin Square on Thursday, December 10, 2020 after it was released earlier that day from Jerusalem Municipality's warehouse at Har Homa. The statue was received by hundreds of protesters bearing pink and black flags and carrying protest signs while chanting protest songs, journalists and an array of protest paintings along the railing of the square. The placing of the statue was delayed following an incident in which a Netanyahu sympathizer blocked the truck which was carrying the statue to the square while claiming that there is no approval for placing the statue in the square and that the statue exhibit is illegitimate all while protesting against the media. Explanations which were given to him regarding the statue's legitimacy did not change his mind. Tel Aviv Police were summoned to the area and the protester was removed.The placement of the statue was done by approval of Tel Aviv Municipality from Thursday until Sunday December 13, 2020. Mayor Ron Huldai tweeted a photo of the statue with the Tel Aviv Municipality building in the background with the text which said: "The protestor will continue to protest, and in the end there will be light. Happy Holiday." (Hanukkah).Zalait stated that the placement of the statue in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv is temporary and that he intends to bring back the statue to Paris Square in Jerusalem with the approval of the Jerusalem Municipality.
