Israeli Military Reservists Protest Judicial Reform Amid Security Concerns

A delegation of high-ranking IDF officers visited the US this week to express their concerns about the potential security fallout of the Israeli government's policies, including the judicial overhaul plan and other hardline policies. The veterans met with US senators from both sides of the aisle, including Connecticut Democrat Richard Blumenthal, to discuss the effects of the new government on national security and the IDF. The veterans argued that the judicial overhaul threatens Israel's security by undermining the IDF's standing as a moral army and opening fissures in society.
