PALESTINE

A decisive day in "Israel"!

The next few hours will be decisive in the fate of the state of division within "Israel", in the event that the Knesset plenary votes on amendments to the controversial "reasonableness" law that relates to the work of judicial bodies.


The Knesset session will be held amidst noisy demonstrations called by the opposition and protesters from political, security, economic, health and other sides, to demonstrate against these legislations led by the far-right government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.


This morning, hundreds of demonstrators arrived near the Knesset and blocked the main street in an attempt to impede the access of Knesset members to the headquarters in order to participate in the session that will be held to vote on the law.


Dozens of demonstrators set up tents in front of the Knesset building, amid a great alert for the Israeli police, who use water to disperse the demonstrators and try to open the road.


According to the Hebrew website Ynet, several protesters were arrested.


And major commercial companies announced the closure of their doors and stores in various Israeli regions, as part of a call from the business forum to completely disrupt the economy.


Yesterday evening and until the early hours of dawn, Israeli President Isaac Herzog tried to bridge the gap between the government coalition and the opposition, in an attempt to prevent the situation from worsening.


Herzog put forward a plan to try to freeze these legislations and enter into serious negotiations, and it seems that the dispute revolves around the period of time in which the legislation should be frozen.


Opposition leaders will meet today before the Knesset session to coordinate their positions.
