Iran Press/ Middle East: The protests on Saturday came as more than 100 of the Israeli regime’s former security chiefs signed a letter pleading with Netanyahu to halt the legislation and thousands of additional military reservists said they would no longer report for duty in a protest against the plan.
The Israeli parliament, or Knesset, is set to hold a final vote on Sunday and Monday on the bill that would limit the Supreme Court’s powers to void what it considers “unreasonable” government or ministerial decisions, Al Jazeera reported.
Critics view the legislation as a threat to the regime’s democracy.
In Jerusalem on Saturday, marchers completed the last leg of a four-day, 70km (45 miles) trek from Tel Aviv to the Israeli regime’s parliament.
The group, which grew from hundreds to thousands as the march progressed, were welcomed by throngs of cheering protesters before they set up camp in rows of small white tents outside the Knesset before the expected vote.
