"28th Week of Protests Kicks Off with Unprecedented Civil Resistance at Mass Rallies"

Tens of thousands of Israelis are expected to join mass protests across the country against the government's plans to overhaul and constrain the judiciary, as demonstrations enter their 28th week. Protest leaders have promised an "unprecedented week of civil resistance," including a "day of resistance" on Tuesday with protest actions and road blockings. The government's decision to push ahead with the "reasonableness" bill has sparked warnings from IDF reservists, pilots, elite commando units, and the Israel Medical Association, who warn of strikes and devastating consequences for the healthcare system. The legislation, if passed, would harm Israel's democracy, economy, and security, according to high-tech workers, economists, lawyers, and military officials.
