Violent Protests and Political Tensions Escalate in Israel

Three people have been arrested after far-right groups were filmed attacking Palestinian citizens of Israel who were passing by pro-government protests in Jerusalem. Reports and videos shared on social media suggested that right-wing protesters in Jerusalem accosted Palestinian passersby and drivers during their rallies. The plans by the governing nationalist religious coalition to hand control over judicial appointments to the executive while giving parliament the power to overturn Supreme Court rulings has ignited one of the biggest internal crises in Israeli history and led to massive protests against the move in the past few months.
