Protests in Israel. Thousands show their dissatisfaction with judicial reform
Protests in Israel continue unabated. Thousands of people took to the streets of Tel Aviv on Saturday night to show their dissatisfaction with the judicial reform, even though the bill has been temporarily suspended. Protesters waved the country's flag and lit candles. This is the 16th anti-government protest.
VOX: "I want to tell Netanyahu that he must be the leader of all the people of Israel. He only speaks to the people who voted for him, but he doesn't care about the opinion of all citizens."
In order to reach a compromise with the opposition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced in March his decision to postpone the adoption of a law providing for judicial reform.
The current government is accused of seeking to increase parliamentary power at the expense of the judiciary. Critics of the legislation say it will jeopardise Israel's democracy.
