"Massive Israeli Protests Continue for 31st Week Against Netanyahu's Judicial Coup"

Tens of thousands of Israelis gathered for the 31st consecutive week of protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul. Protest leaders expressed concerns over the dismantling of the judicial system and Netanyahu's refusal to commit to abiding by a critical High Court ruling. Demonstrators emphasized the global significance of their fight for liberal democracy and criticized politically driven appointments undermining professional standards in the civil service. The protests proceeded safely despite a terror attack earlier in Tel Aviv. The movement also faced challenges such as the banning of activities in schools and the dismissal of teachers discussing the judicial overhaul.
