Al Mayadeen correspondent in occupied Palestine reported on Tuesday that there are calls for massive demonstrations by vehicles near Ben Gurion Airport on Wednesday to obstruct the departure of the Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife to Berlin and London.

Our correspondent said about a thousand Israeli academics are appealing to the ambassadors of Germany and Britain to cancel Netanyahu's visit to the two countries.

Israeli Knesset Member and former Israeli occupation Chief of Staff, Gadi Eisenkot, considered that "Israel" is now passing through one of the most dangerous security periods since the 1973 October War.

Israeli Channel 7 said the head of the "Yisrael" Beiteinu party, Avigdor Lieberman, attacked Netanyahu's government, saying "Israel" is going through a legislative-economic crisis and is "isolated" in the world.

This comes at a time when a crucial component of the legislation for "judicial reform", the "override clause", was passed by the Israeli Knesset in its first reading, with 61 votes for and 52 against.

The passed component now limits the Israeli High Court's ability to invalidate laws and overturn decisions.

The draft amendments to the "Basic Law: The Government", which were approved in its first reading, stipulate the fortification of the position of the Prime Minister and prevent the judicial advisor to the government from declaring the Premier unfit for office.

In the same context, a number of Israeli settlers blocked roads leading to Israeli government ministries in occupied Al-Quds.

Israeli media reported that on Tuesday morning, settlers blocked the road leading to the ministries of Finance, Interior, and Economy in occupied Al-Quds in rejection of the government's plan.

Last Thursday, Israeli occupation President Isaac Herzog called for putting an end to the current legislative process.
