The leader of the Israeli opposition, Yair Lapid, said his opponent prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is stupid and should be replaced by AI, Israeli media reported on Monday.

"It would not hurt if your government was replaced by AI," the Israeli Maariv newspaper quoted Lapid as telling Netanyahu.

Netanyahu said today in the closed part of the Likud bloc meeting that "the judicial amendments are not dead. Do not listen to what they say in the media," the Israeli Walla! news website reported.

"We are making efforts to obtain a broad agreement on the judicial amendments," the Israeli website added.

Protests are still consuming the Israeli occupation at the internal, political, and security establishment levels against the Netanyahu government and its plan for a judicial overhaul that widened the rift in the Israeli occupation. 

Just days after the Israeli parliament voted on the state budget, Israelis rallied across the streets of "Tel Aviv" on Saturday in protest against the government judicial overhaul - marking the 21st straight week since the protests erupted in the settler-colonial entity. 

Other Israeli gatherings took place in occupied Haifa and Beer Al Sabe, along with several other cities across the occupied territories to protest against the judicial overhaul. 

According to Israeli sources, "tens of thousands" have been taking part in the demonstrations.

After a long night of deliberation, the 2023 and 2024 budgets were ultimately approved by parliament by a vote of 64-56 just before dawn. The budget included the allocation of nearly $4 billion in discretionary funds, namely for ultra-Orthodox spending.

Hoping to gain the support of extremist political allies, Netanyahu announced on Monday that married ultra-Orthodox Israeli settlers who are enrolled in religious studies (rather than employed) would receive a total of 250 million shekels ($67.5 million) from the annual budget.

Following the announcement, thousands flooded the streets in occupied Al-Quds, on Tuesday, accusing Netanyahu of mishandling public funds to buy support amid an ongoing judicial reform havoc.

The intention to allocate large-scale funds from the annual budget to the service of ultra-Orthodox Israelis' welfare does not only depict the core Israeli occupation's identity and priorities despite propaganda efforts to portray itself as "the only democracy in the Middle East," but it also deepens the internal divide as settlers realize that Netanyahu will "loot" public funds, accumulated through occupation practices, to gain favor among his coalition allies.
