Protests against the judicial reform proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government continue in Israel, while a counter-reform proposal presented by President Isaac Herzog was rejected by the coalition. Thousands of people gathered in various parts of Israel to participate in the protests, with tensions arising at times between the protesters and those who opposed them. Opposition parties accepted Herzog’s proposal while Netanyahu criticized it, calling it a “missed opportunity.”
The situation remains tense as the protests continue, with more demonstrations expected over the weekend.
