The head of the opposition, Yair Lapid: "Let's protect our beloved country from the destruction of democracy. Yes, I will come too" (Walla system!)
The head of the opposition and chairman of Yesh Atid Yair Lapid said today (Wednesday) in a video on the networks that he will attend the demonstrations planned for Saturday night against the reform of the government's judicial system.
Let's protect our beloved country from the destruction of democracy.
Yes, I will also come," he said.
This coming Saturday, a huge demonstration against the coup is expected to take place on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, after which there will be a protest march in which thousands of demonstrators are expected to participate due to the legal coup of Justice Minister Yariv Levin and against the background of the recent political and legal events; the disqualification of Deri and the calls from the coalition to disobey the ruling. Therefore, already earlier today, the organizers of the demonstration began to call on the heads of the opposition parties to announce that they will come to the huge demonstration and that they will stand at the head of the protest march.
The organizers of the demonstration said: "We are in the most difficult days Israeli democracy has ever known. Criminals are openly threatening to turn Israel into a dictatorship, elected officials are talking about killing at the High Court.
Determined protest is a cornerstone on the way to saving Israel from becoming a dictatorship.
The general public is called to stand up - this is our time to save democracy.
We must show up on Saturday evening in Tel Aviv and stop the coup d'état."
The organizers reported that in recent hours, since the ruling on the Deri case and the unbridled attack, there has been a dramatic increase in registration for the demonstration. The organizers expect an increase in the number of participants.

About 80,000 people demonstrated last Saturday in Tel Aviv's Bima Square against the reform.
With the end of the main rally in the square, protesters began marching through the streets of the city and several hundred arrived at the peace interchange, where the police blocked them from going down to the highway.
The rally, which was planned to start at 19:00, was postponed due to the rainy weather and the announcement and lighting systems were turned off for about an hour.
Many thousands filled the area of the square, and the police expanded the area of the protest that spread to the nearby streets.
Later, due to the overcrowding, police officers prevented protesters from reaching the square area.
Public figures and former leaders came to the demonstration, including MKs Benny Gantz, Miki Levy, Manor Abbas, Hili Torfer, as well as Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai, Ehud Barak and Tzipi Livni. The organizers of the demonstration, organized by the Movement for the Quality of Government, refused to allow politicians to speak on stage The main one, this is in an attempt to "maintain political sterility in order to expand the message to as many audiences as possible".
