Protests in Israel

 


Tens of thousands of Israelis marched in Tel Aviv and in two other major cities on Saturday night, protesting  Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the legal system and weaken the Supreme Court. Critics say Netanyahu would cripple judicial independence, foster corruption, set back minority rights, and deprive Israel's court system of credibility.

 Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered police to take tough action if protesters displayed Palestinian flags at Saturday’s protest. Social media footage showed a number of Palestinian flags on display in defiance.
