Israel may face a "national crisis" with over 100000 people protesting against Benjamin Netanyahu | Prime Minister | Israel
According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur on August 19, more than 100000 people demonstrated in Tel Aviv, Israel, on the evening of August 19, protesting the efforts of the government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to weaken the Israeli judicial system. According to local media reports, this week's protest is the 33rd time and the focus is on safeguarding women's rights. In recent weeks, there have been increasing reports of Israel attempting to restrict women in public places. In one case, a bus driver in Ashdod clearly led a group of teenage girls to the back of a bus and gave them a blanket to cover himself. Netanyahu's ruling coalition includes several strictly religious parties that are pushing for more gender segregation in public places. After the Ashdod incident, Netanyahu pointed out that "Israel is a free country, and no one can restrict who can use public transportation, nor can anyone dictate where to sit." Israel has frequently engaged in large-scale protests against government policies this year, which have been ongoing for over six months. At the end of July, as part of a controversial judicial restructuring, the coalition government passed a law restricting the Supreme Court's choice of action. On September 12th, the Supreme Court plans to hear an appeal against this new law. If the court wants to ban this law, it may trigger a nationwide crisis.
