Netanyahu is in trouble! 10,000 soldiers abandon their posts
According to news from the Israeli press, in a statement from the “Friends in Arms” group, made up of reservists who oppose the controversial judicial regulation, it was announced that 10,000 reservists would abandon their voluntary military service against the government’s judicial regulation.
Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi requested a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the resignation of reserve soldiers in the army cadres.
THEY GO TO THE STREET AGAIN
On the other hand, as the coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to introduce the bill lifting the Supreme Court’s control over the government within the realm of judicial regulation, Israelis protesting this have once again taken to the streets across the country.
DISCUSSION JURISDICTION
The “judicial reform” announced by Israeli Justice Minister Yariv Levin on January 5 includes changes such as limiting the powers of the Supreme Court and the power to have a say in judicial appointments.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on March 27 that he had postponed judicial regulation, sparking an increase in protests and mass strikes across the country, but announced that he would put judicial regulation back on the agenda after parliament approved the 2023-2024 budget in late May.
PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN
The government had recently pushed the button for judicial regulation after its negotiations with the opposition stalled.
The Netanyahu government announced that the bill that will remove Supreme Court control over the government within the scope of judicial regulation will be submitted to Parliament on July 24 for the second and third ballots.
Thousands of Israelis, including fighter pilots, submarine officers and other elite troops, who opposed the government’s “judicial reform”, had decided to resign as volunteers.
SECURITY, ARMY, JUDICIAL POWER…
In the Israeli press, it was claimed that Defense Minister Gallant was working to delay the bill that would lift the control of the Supreme Court over the government, following the reaction of reserve soldiers in the army.
Senior personalities from Israel’s politics, military, security, economy and judiciary spoke out against the government’s judicial regulation.
The Netanyahu government’s protest movement against judicial regulation has continued its demonstrations for about 7 months. (AA)
