Thousands of Israelis rally against Netanyahu government

Israelis protest against the government's plans to overhaul the country's legal system, in Tel Aviv, Israel, Jan. 14, 2023. Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered in central Tel Aviv on Saturday night to protest plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government to overhaul the legal system and weaken the Supreme Court -- a step that critics say will destroy the country's democratic system of checks and balances.

Israeli media, citing police, said the crowd at Tel Aviv's Habima Square had swelled to 80,000 people by 9 p.m. despite cool, rainy weather. Protesters, many covered by umbrellas, held Israeli flags and signs saying "Criminal Government," "The End of Democracy" and other slogans. There were no immediate reports of unrest.

In office for just over two weeks, his government has launched proposals to weaken the Supreme Court by giving parliament the power to overturn court decisions with a simple majority vote. It also wants to give parliament control over the appointment of judges and reduce the independence of legal advisers.

They brave

We need to defund and stop giving a shit about these two basket cases.

Millions stayed home......what's the point?

Students have passed the teacher

The world should be protesting the occupation! BDS

Why

Hundred of thousands rallied agains Trudeau.

They erased my tweet which showed I v r o me tin as a cure

Will the Netanyahu government freeze their bank accounts?

How long have millions in Brazil been protesting their new government….? Hmmm? Seems like the promotion of protest is more ideologically driven than protest itself.

I think they are being antisemitic for their criticism.

Millions of Brazilians have been protesting the Lula Da Silva government for over two months but I guess CTV doesn't report on demonstrations that are ten times bigger because they are against the left.

That piece of 💩 refuses to leave .WEF is probably his friend .

Brave people

Good for them

It's not only Palestinians. Jews, Muslims and Christians can live together in peace as they did before 1948.

It's a welcome sight knowing that the good people of Israel know that this treatment of Palestinians is disgusting, so wrong and must stop!

You mean create a check and balance for the court because they're constantly overreaching. This is democracy at work. Don’t say that Jews/Israelis don’t criticize the government. So they think he’s a yahu?
