Iran Press/ Middle East: According to media reports, tens of thousands of Israelis protested against the planned judicial reform of the right-wing government in Tel Aviv and other cities for the seventh week in a row.
Less than two months have passed since the inauguration of Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet. Netanyahu has four court cases on charges of corruption. His new cabinet is trying to reduce the powers of the judicial system with radical reforms, an issue that faced widespread protests in the occupied territories.
The proposed reform package, which would limit the authority of the High Court of Justice and give the cabinet control over the selection of new judges, is set to be announced on Monday when the first vote on the legislation will also be held.
Massive demonstrations were held in a number of occupied Palestinian areas against Netanyahu's cabinet and the plans of the Israeli regime's Minister of Justice to make changes in the judicial system of this regime. 219
