Israelis protest at Prime Minister's residence as lawmakers meet over judicial law

Israeli citizens have protested outside the Knesset and Prime Minister’s residence against a controversial law that would alter the judicial appointment committee, a move critics warn could shift power within the judiciary and spark a constitutional crisis.
Israelis gathered in front of the Knesset and the Prime Minister’s residence to protest a controversial law under discussion that seeks to alter the committee responsible for appointing judges. This move, which has sparked widespread criticism, could significantly shift the balance of power within Israel’s judicial system and potentially lead to a new constitutional crisis.
The proposed legislation is seen by many as a way for the government to gain greater control over judicial appointments, raising concerns about the independence of the judiciary. Critics argue that the change would enable the government to enact policies that have already been met with fierce opposition, undermining the checks and balances that are a cornerstone of Israel's democratic system.
Protesters, including citizens and activists, have expressed their fear that such a change could erode democratic values and weaken the rule of law. The growing unrest highlights the deep divisions within Israeli society over the government's judicial reform efforts, signaling a critical moment in the country’s political landscape.
As the Knesset debates the legislation, tensions continue to rise, with many questioning whether the proposed reforms will further polarize the nation or spark broader efforts for constitutional change. The outcome of this debate will likely have lasting implications for Israel’s political structure and the future of its democracy.
