In protest over a contentious proposal by the Israeli government to revamp the country’s court system, Israeli citizens have blocked highways and held rallies.
The demonstrators have the expectation that the events that took place on Thursday would enhance the amount of pressure that MPs are under only a few days after the legislature reopened its session after taking a month-long recess.
Highways in Israel were closed as a form of protest against Netanyahu’s legislative revision.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu halted the reform in April after receiving significant backlash from the public in March. At this time, the two competing parties are seeking to reach a compromise agreement in order to go on.
Since that time, tens of thousands of people have attended demonstrations on every single Saturday night, which is a statement that they do not trust his intentions.
In spite of the fact that it was anticipated that the midweek demonstration that would take place on Thursday would be on a smaller size, the purpose of the demonstrators is to remind legislators of their existence and their potential to interrupt operations around the country as a result of their opposition to the overhaul.
