Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have protested in Tel Aviv for the 13th straight week against a controversial judicial overhaul that has now been suspended by the government while talks are held with party representatives.
“We don’t believe anything that comes out of Bibi’s [Netanyahu] mouth. We believe it’s just a political stunt aimed at stopping the protest,” said Emanuel Keller, 30, at a demonstration in Jerusalem.
Critics have viewed the government’s drive as a threat to the court’s independence and an attempt at a legal coup. Proponents have said it is seeking a less elitist, interventionist bench.
