  • One protest in the face of another; overhaul supporters in 'Tel Aviv'
    Tens of thousands of pro-overhaul Israeli settlers demonstrate in "Tel Aviv", on July 23, 2023 (AFP)

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in occupied Palestine reported on Sunday that demonstrations are ongoing against the judicial overhaul that the government of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hoping to pass.

On Sunday morning, the Israeli Knesset started the process of deliberating a bill that would eliminate judicial assessment of the "reasonability" of cabinet and ministerial decisions.

Our correspondent pointed out that what is happening in the meantime is one protest in the face of another.

This comes as the media reported that thousands of Israeli settlers arrived in the vicinity of the Knesset to protest against the approval of the judicial overhaul, with the increasing momentum of the demonstrations.

On the other hand, Israeli media reported that pro-overhaul supporters began gathering on "Kaplan Street" in "Tel Aviv" for a protest in support of the government's plan.

The media warned against a dramatic escalation that could occur during Sunday's demonstrations in "Tel Aviv" and occupied Al-Quds.

The Israeli occupation's Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis warned that "we are facing an attempt to carry out a military coup in Israel." 

It is noteworthy that the Israeli government had postponed its session, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday after Netanyahu was admitted to the hospital to undergo surgery to implant a heart pacemaker.

Earlier on Sunday, "Israel's" former chief economist of the Ministry of Finance, Yoel Naveh, warned that the insistence of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on passing the judicial overhaul will severely harm the Israeli economy, Israel media reported.

According to Naveh, a unilateral formula to change the political system in a way that does not enjoy wide consensus can inflict very serious economic damage.

In the same context, the Israeli Channel 12 reported that there is an ongoing discussion over a possible strike in the Israeli economic sector, in protest against the judicial overhaul, adding that the leaders of the economic sector will meet on Sunday evening to discuss the matter.

In addition, The Times of "Israel" mentioned that "the heads of major businesses will meet later this evening as they deliberate declaring a strike to protest the judicial overhaul."

Israeli media noted that the strike would include commercial centers, gas stations, high-tech companies, law firms, and factories, pointing out that the decision is dependent on the stance of Histadrut, "Israel's" general trade union center.

On Saturday, more than half a million settlers participated in anti-overhaul demonstrations, which entered the 29th week in a row.
