Israeli Protests and Political Turmoil: What's Next for Netanyahu?

Left-wing activists held protests in Tel Aviv and other cities against the proposed establishment of a new National Guard that would answer to far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The force would be tasked with tackling “nationalist crime,” terrorism and “restoring governance where needed.” Civil rights groups and opposition politicians have expressed extreme concern over the proposal to bring such a force under the direct control of a government minister, arguing that it could politicize policing and undermine the principle of equality in law enforcement.
