Israel Judicial Overhaul Protests

Israel Judicial Overhaul Protests

Jerusalem, Israel. Demonstrators hold a sign that says "peace" in the color of Palestinian flags and a sign that says the reform is bad but the reformers are fine. Meaning, the people are not bad but only the idea. Thousands of Israelis filled Jerusalem on July 23, 2023 in a demonstration in front of the Supreme Court. This protest was held the evening before the vote on Standard of Reasonableness law. In the week preceding the vote in the parliament, a huge march arrived in Jerusalem and stayed overnight in Jerusalem in a tent camp. Demonstrations against the current government broke out in January, 2023, claiming that the new government is promoting Judicial Overhaul laws. Photo by Yahel Gazit/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
