Israelis Mobilize Largest Protest in Weeks Ahead of Monday‘s Knesset Vote on Key Judicial Coup Bill

Speakers at the main protest in Tel Aviv included protest leader Shikma Bressler and Prof. Yuval Noah Harari. Bressler warned that the government is “rushing towards a dictatorship and the destruction of the country,” and that “this coming Monday, it intends to pass, in a first vote, the cancellation of the reasonableness standard.”

Referring to the day of resistance planned for Tuesday, Bressler told demonstrators: “We will take to the streets en masse, with unparalleled determination, in a legal and non-violent struggle. I emphasize – non-violent. We call on the public to prepare for a prolonged and persistent struggle.”
