Protesters Rally Against Netanyahu's Supreme Court Overhaul, Citing Threat to Israeli Democracy

Massive protests have erupted in Israel against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government and its attempt to weaken the country's Supreme Court. The proposed judicial overhaul is seen as a threat to Israel's democracy, with concerns that it could lead to unlimited government power and the erosion of individual rights. Protesters, including military reservists, are demanding the preservation of democratic values and an independent judiciary. They fear that without a strong Supreme Court, the ultra-Orthodox bloc in the government could impose theocracy and undermine women's and gay rights. The protests have sparked a cold civil war in the country, with clashes between police and demonstrators.
