More than a million people demonstrated on Monday evening, in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, against the controversial judicial reform project, on the eve of a hearing to consider appeals submitted against one of the main points of this project, according to what journalists at Agence France-Presse reported.

The demonstrators chanted, raising Israeli flags, "Democracy! Democracy!"

Michael Telias, 42, a professor of neuroscience, told AFP, "We are here to try to stop the attempts of this corrupt government to turn Israel, a liberal democracy, into a fascist regime."

Since the Israeli government announced this judicial reform project in early January, Israel has witnessed one of the largest protest movements in its history.

His opponents demonstrate every Saturday evening in Tel Aviv in particular, and in several Israeli cities.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold an extraordinary session on Tuesday in the presence of the 15 judges of this court to consider the appeals submitted against the “reasonableness argument” clause in the reform project approved by Parliament last July.

"We hope that the Supreme Court will reject this proposal, which has no purpose other than to abolish any form of authority that it is supposed to have," Tilias added.

While the media is talking about a reconciliation agreement between the government and the opposition to move forward with judicial reform, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he is working to “achieve a national consensus that will restore the balance between the three authorities.”

Earlier, far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced that he opposes any "surrender."

He said in a video clip published by his office, "I support dialogue, but against surrender. This reform is important for the State of Israel."

For his part, opposition leader Yair Lapid warned on Sunday of “a settlement proposal that is too good to be true.”

According to the government, the reform aims in particular to restore balance between powers by reducing the powers of the Supreme Court in favor of Parliament.

For their part, opponents of the reform fear that the proposed amendments will undermine Israeli democracy.
