Today, Saturday evening, protest demonstrations against the government of Benjamin Netanyahu and the plan to weaken the judiciary were renewed, in Tel Aviv and dozens of major towns and intersections, for the eighteenth week in a row.

The Netanyahu government seeks to make radical amendments to the legal and judicial systems, to almost completely eliminate the Supreme Court's authority for judicial review, and to give the government an automatic majority in the judges' selection committee, which a wide segment of Israelis sees as "targeting democracy and undermining the judicial system."

On March 27, Netanyahu announced the "suspension" of the plan to give "an opportunity for dialogue," but the protests against his government are still intense, as the organizers of the protests saw this announcement as just an attempt by the government to contain the protests, and demanded that the plan be canceled completely.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has been leading negotiations for a month with representatives of the government and the opposition with the aim of reaching a settlement, but these negotiations did not reach any result, as Israeli society is witnessing a state of wide polarization between the forces supporting the government and its plan and the forces opposing it.
