Continued widespread protests against changes in the Israeli judicial system
In Israel, protesters have called Friday the day of resistance against the proposed changes by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the judicial laws. They have stated that they will intensify their protests on this day.
Activists have said they intend to block main roads, including the route leading to Tel Aviv airport, which could make it difficult for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to travel to Italy for an official visit.
Marches and gatherings in front of high-ranking officials’ houses are also part of their plans.
Israeli officials say these disruptions are likely to limit the locations where meetings that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is scheduled to attend on Friday will take place. He is expected to arrive in Israel soon.
The proposed legal changes by the Israeli Prime Minister, which critics say threaten democracy in the country, limit the power of the courts and increase the government’s power in judicial appointments.
