Organizers of protests once morest judicial reform in Israel announced a “week of paralysis”, which implies protests across the country, reports The Jerusalem Post. As conceived by the protesters, the actions will be held in all places where members of the government and deputies will arrive in order to “let them know that the dictatorship will not pass.” Large-scale actions were announced following Friday’s protests, which were attended by “many thousands of people,” the newspaper said.
In December, Benjamin Netanyahu returned to the post of Prime Minister of Israel, following which his government announced reforms, including the legal system. It involves the transfer of control to the parliamentary majority over the process of choosing judges of the Supreme Court, as well as the abandonment of the legislative principle that allows the Supreme Court to overturn government decisions. The initiative angered the Israelis, and protests across the country have been going on for 11 weeks. Mr. Netanyahu refused to suspend the reform.
