VIDEO: Protests in Israel as Hundreds of Thousands Rally in Support of Netanyahu
A massive protest is taking place in Israel in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the judicial reforms that have sparked widespread demonstrations and clashes across the country. Over 200,000 Israelis are participating in the rally.
Earlier reports indicated that the first clashes had begun between supporters and opponents of the judicial reforms. Protesters have blocked central streets in the city of Jaffa. According to an RTVI reporter, there is a significant police presence in the area.
It is important to note that protests against the judicial reforms initiated by Netanyahu's government have been ongoing for several months. These reforms aim to limit the powers of the Supreme Court and grant the executive branch greater control over the selection of judges. The opposition argues that this reform undermines the democratic foundations of the state.
