TEL AVIV: Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv Saturday against a controversial judicial overhaul by the hard-right government, ahead of a key week expected to see more legislative steps and mass protests.
"This is all we can hope for, that he brings us back from the edge of the abyss," the 36-year-old told AFP. US President Joe Biden has expressed"our concerns over these proposals, these proposed judicial reforms", White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on Wednesday. Israeli lawmakers are due to vote on a central part of the government's proposals next week, which foresees changing the way judges are appointed.
In response, demonstrators have announced a"national paralysis week", including countrywide rallies, protests outside ministers' homes and on Wednesday outside parliament.
