Thousands Protest in Israel Against Netanyahu and Judicial Overhaul
Mass Demonstrations in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
Thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem over the weekend in the largest protests the country has seen in years. The demonstrators are protesting against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his proposed judicial overhaul, which critics say threatens the country's democracy.
Protesters Blame Netanyahu for Gaza War Failures
The protests were sparked by the government's handling of the recent war in Gaza, which many Israelis believe was a failure. Protesters blame Netanyahu for the deaths of dozens of Israeli soldiers and civilians, and for the destruction of Palestinian property.
The protests are also a reaction to Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms, which would give the government more control over the judiciary. Critics say the reforms would undermine the independence of the courts and make it easier for the government to suppress dissent.
Protests Expected to Continue
The protests are expected to continue in the coming weeks, as demonstrators ramp up pressure on Netanyahu to withdraw his proposed judicial reforms. The protests are a sign of growing discontent with Netanyahu's government, and could pose a serious challenge to his authority.
