TEL AVIV: Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv Saturday 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.
“This is all we can hope for, that he (Netanyahu) brings us back from the edge of the abyss,” the 36-year-old said.
