AMMAN — More than 1,100
Israeli Air Force reservists said
they will suspend their reserve duty in protest of the government action to
reform the country's judicial system, reported the Times of Israel.

The bill would prevent courts from using the reasonableness
standard in judgments against administrative decisions by the government,
prime minister, and ministers.
They announced their
intentions to strike in letter released
Friday, which stated that the reservists, which includes 173 drone operators,
124 air traffic controllers and 167 staff, have threatened to start strike
action as early as next week if the so-called reasonableness bill becomes law.
The reservists say they will not live in an
undemocratic Israel. “Legislation that affects the Jewish or democratic character of the
State of Israel must be carried out through negotiations and broad public
agreement,” they warned.
