Tel Aviv, Israel: Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv Saturday (Sunday in Manila) against a controversial judicial overhaul by the hard-right government, ahead of a key week expected to see more legislative steps and mass protests.
The latest demonstration to hit Israel's commercial hub came days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to press on with the changes despite mounting international alarm.'We're here today to show up and add our voice to the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Israelis that support the values that this country was founded on,' said high-tech worker Daniel Nisman, mentioning democracy and tolerance.
Netanyahu was also met by hundreds of protesters in London, where he met his British counterpart Rishi Sunak on Friday.During the talks, the British premier 'stressed the importance of upholding the democratic values that underpin our relationship, including in the proposed judicial reforms', a spokesperson said.Israeli lawmakers are due to vote on a central part of the government's proposals next week, which foresees changing the way judges are appointed.
