A week ago, a new government was sworn in in Israel. The comeback of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also brings with it the far-right coalition. On the other hand, many Israelis are now in revolt. Saturday there was a large demonstration in Tel Aviv.
The demonstrators gathered in the center of the coastal town and then marched loudly through the streets. They waved Israeli flags and held up banners. “We will not allow our country to be destroyed! We will continue to fight for our democracy,” Merav Michaeli of the Social Democratic Workers’ Party, who took part in the demonstration, wrote on Twitter.
Concerned about the Attorney General’s plans
According to the organizers, the protests were directed against, among other things, the plans of the new justice minister Jariv Levin, which are intended precisely to weaken the justice system. A majority in parliament must be able to pass a law, even if the Supreme Court considers it to be contrary to the basic law. Levin also wants to change the composition of the body that appoints judges.
“If we don’t take to the streets, we will lose our democracy,” said Hewi Boem, who took part in the demonstration in Tel Aviv, the German news agency. The new government is criminal and corrupt. Another participant said it was good that more people took to the streets than in a very long time. “But it’s not enough to stop this criminal government.”
