POLICE TAKE BIG ACTION

In Tel Aviv, the focal point of the demonstrations, police took extensive precautions in the city center. The roads around Kaplan Street, the center of the protests in Tel Aviv, were closed to traffic.

The music was played from different stages set up on Kaplan street in Tel Aviv. The anti-Netanyahu protest movement announced that the names of active politics will not speak on stages set up in Tel Aviv this week, and that this step “aims to keep demonstrations away from political parties.”

DISCUSSION JURISDICTION IN ISRAEL

Justice Minister Yariv Levin announced on January 5 that they were planning a “judicial reform” that would limit the powers of the Supreme Court and reduce the influence of the judiciary in the selection of judges.

Moves by the Netanyahu-led coalition government to transfer some of the powers of the judiciary to Parliament sparked tensions between the government and the Israeli judiciary, especially the Supreme Court.

Israel’s Supreme Court, acting as the country’s highest judicial authority, has the authority to strike down laws passed by the Assembly as contrary to “fundamental laws” accepted as a constitutional project.

Netanyahu’s government stated in the court ruling that it announced that the Supreme Court’s authority to strike down laws passed by Parliament would be largely removed.

The government’s judicial regulation, which restricts the powers of the judiciary and provides for the power to have a say in judicial appointments, was heavily criticized for limiting the powers of the judiciary within Israel and internationally.

Mass protests against the judicial regulation of the Netanyahu government in Israel have been going on for weeks.

The alternative bill presented by President Isaac Herzog, which warns the parties of “civil war”, was also rejected by the government.

Hundreds of Israeli army reservists, including fighter pilots, submarine officers, cybersecurity experts and special forces, announced that they would not continue their duties or attend training if the government implemented the controversial court regulation.

In Israel, domestic and foreign intelligence agencies and employees of other security institutions have also announced their objections to the government’s judicial regulations. (AA)
