Fresh protests are expected in Israel against far-reaching changes to the country's legal system some say threaten Israel's democratic foundations

For months, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been taking to the streets across the country to protest far-reaching changes to Israel’s legal system some say threaten the country’s democratic foundations. At its core, the judicial overhaul would give the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, and therefore the parties in power, more control over Israel’s judiciary.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank could be affected, and of course Palestinian citizens of Israel or those who hold residency cards would be directly affected. Israel’s Supreme Court has no influence on what happens in Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Critics of the changes worry that if the politicians have more control, the rights of minorities in Israel, especially Palestinians living in Israel, would be impacted.

These are dark days here in the Israel. The government wants to silence the Supreme Court. This is a huge danger to democracy. In fact, Israel is becoming a dictatorship. The government will appoint its own judges. Without democracy the economy here will be destroyed.
