Israeli Reservists and Pilots Protest PM's Judicial Reform.

TL;DR Summary
Roughly 200 Israeli Air Force reserve pilots have announced that they will not be reporting for their weekly flying session next week following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement that the government will move forward with its plan to overhaul the judiciary, despite widespread public protest. The failure to report for weekly training sessions has serious implications because pilots who miss them are not certified to fly operational missions. The trend has sparked deep fears among the security establishment, which has warned Netanyahu that the IDF’s operational capacity is at risk.
