Israelis have stopped highways and staged demonstrations in opposition to a controversial plan by the government to reform the judicial system.
The protestors’ expectation is that the events that took place on Thursday would increase the amount of pressure that lawmakers are under only a few days after the legislature resumed its session following a month-long break.
Israelis shut down highways in protest of Netanyahu’s law reform
After coming under strong criticism in March, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put a halt to the reform, and the two opposing parties are currently attempting to strike a compromise deal.
Tens of thousands of people have continued to demonstrate each and every Saturday night since then, which is a statement that they do not trust his intentions.
It was anticipated that the midweek demonstration on Thursday would be on a lower scale; nonetheless, the protestors’ goal is to remind legislators of their presence and their capacity to disrupt countrywide operations because of their resistance to the revamp.
