Critics say Netanyahu's plan would damage judicial independence, foster corruption and set back minority rights.
Tens of thousands Israelis gather at Habima Square to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government judicial reform plan in Tel Aviv, Israel, on January 14, 2023.Tens of thousands of Israelis marched in central Tel Aviv and in two other major cities on Saturday night, protesting far rightwing PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to overhaul the legal system and weaken the Supreme Court — undermining democratic rule just weeks after his election.
Despite cold, rainy weather, marchers, many covered with umbrellas, held Israeli flags and placards saying “Criminal Government,” “The End of Democracy,” and “We Are Preserving Our Shared Home.” Netanyahu was guilty of a “legal putsch,” read another. Critics say Netanyahu’s plan would damage judicial independence, foster corruption, set back minority rights, and deprive Israel’s court system of credibility.
Netanyahu and his ultranationalist security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered police to take tough action if protesters displayed Palestinian flags at Saturday’s protest. Social media footage showed a number of Palestinian flags on display in defiance of Netanyahu.
