Why it matters:
The protests against Netanyahu's policies reveal deep divisions in the Israeli regime, with concerns about democracy, governance, and security under his leadership.
The big picture:
A large protest against the Israeli cabinet took place in Tel Aviv on Saturday night. The protest happened following the dismissal of Ronen Bar, the head of Shin Bet, and the issuance of a temporary order by the Israeli Supreme Court to halt the decision.
What they're saying:
The leader of the opposition to the Israeli cabinet emphasized that if Ronen Bar is dismissed, the opposition would spare no efforts to halt the cabinet: "Not only universities but schools, the economy, the Knesset, courts, and even local institutions must be shut down."
Yair Golan, the former Deputy Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army: "We're at a point of no return—it's all or nothing. We're striking and will bring the economy, ports, transportation, schools, businesses, and streets to a halt."
