The protests against the
Israeli government's judicial reform plans
entered their 28th week, with demonstrators taking to the streets across Israel
on Thursday evening.

According to the Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth,"
tens of thousands of protesters gathered on
Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, along
with demonstrations in dozens of other locations.
Israeli estimates indicated that more than 100,000 demonstrators
participated in the central protest on Kaplan Street in
Tel Aviv.
These protests have drawn huge crowds as the
Knesset prepares to
push legislation clipping the courts' ability to strike down laws violating
Israel's quasi-constitutional Basic Laws through two final votes next week.
Netanyahu's health episode
The protests coincided with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experiencing health issues, losing consciousness, and suffering chest
pains at his home in Caesarea.
He was admitted to the emergency department, where medical tests
revealed dehydration.
Netanyahu remained under medical observation overnight in the
cardiology department, leading to the postponement of the
weekly government session from Sunday to Monday.
Israeli organizers described the upcoming week as the most
sensitive one and announced the postponement of their escalated protests to
Tuesday instead of Monday, as originally planned.
‘Majority will not be silenced’
Despite half a year having passed since the first major
demonstration against the judicial revolution promoted by
Netanyahu's government, thousands of Israeli still protest every Saturday against it.
The protest organizations described the upcoming week as "the
most dramatic week of protests against dictatorship," and tonight as the
"hour of truth," against the backdrop of their final confirmation,
possibly early this week, of canceling the potential cause.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid strongly criticized the government's
actions, stating, "The State of Israel needs the reasonableness clause
more than ever because we are in an unlikely event.
Ben Gvir, Smotrich,
Rothman, and Levin are trying to carry out a hostile takeover of
Israeliness."
Lapid affirmed that they would not allow it to happen and
emphasized the unity of the Israeli majority, asserting, "We are not here
just to pay taxes and send our children to the army; they will not silence
us."
