Aggravation of the situation in Israel

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.
