In Israel, massive anti-government protests against the government's attempts to limit the role of the Supreme Court intensified sharply. The reason for the escalation was the decision of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to dismiss Defense Minister Yoav Galant, who spoke out against judicial reform. According to local media reports, more than 600,000 people take part in spontaneous rallies. The threat of rebellion in the army also escalated. Crowds of disgruntled people clash with the police and try to break through to the prime minister's residence in the government quarter. In different parts of the city, protesters are building barricades and demanding the resignation of the current government. Law enforcement officers use water cannons to disperse the dissatisfied. Some politicians, including former prime minister Naftali Bennett, have called for judicial reform to be delayed. From tomorrow, a strike of educational and medical trade unions has been declared. In Israel, a new wave of major protests and strikes is expected, which will take on more radical and large-scale forms. #israel

France Slammed For ‘Excessive Force’ Against Protests The French government has used disproportionate force against demonstrators protesting pension reforms in violation of their freedom of assembly and expression, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Dunja Mijatovic claimed. Mijatovicdescribedthe circumstances of the pension protests as“concerning,”adding that“sporadic acts of violence by some demonstrators or other reprehensible acts committed by others during a demonstration cannot justify the excessive use of force by state agents.” While some “violent incidents” have taken place, including against police, they are “not sufficient to deprive peaceful demonstrators of enjoying the right of freedom of assembly,” she said, adding that the French authorities must protect peaceful protesters. #france #democracy
