Iran Press/Middle East: About 190,000 people in Tel Aviv and 200,000 people in other cities across the occupied Palestine have flocked to the streets to express their opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government and its divisive plan to overhaul the country’s judicial system.
Plans by Netanyahu’s government to weaken the Supreme Court have outraged the Zionists, who see it as an assault on their country’s system of checks and balances.
Protests last month brought Israeli cities to a standstill and threatened to shut down the economy, compelling Netanyahu to delay the judicial reform plan in hopes of finding a compromise.
Despite the opposition, the Prime Minister insists on the implementation of the reforms for his benefit and deals strongly with the opponents.
The plan would give Netanyahu, who is on trial on corruption charges, and his partners in the regime’s most hardline coalition in its history the final say in appointing the nation’s judges.
It would also give parliament, which is controlled by his allies, authority to overturn Supreme Court decisions and limit the court’s ability to review laws.
The United States, the Israeli regime’s most crucial ally, has even publicly rebuffed Netanyahu, with President Joe Biden telling him that he “cannot continue down this road.”
