Last week, about 200,000 people demonstrated across the country.
During the protest, a segment of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was shown expressing support for the protesters.
"We have always fought for peace, equality and democracy, despite this, many of you know that these are values that are difficult to take for granted," he said.
"We must protect and promote these values every day."
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen responded to Sanchez's words on his Twitter account where he wrote: "The opponents of the reform have no red lines, including the attempt to harm the international status. No foreign party will decide for the public in Israel and I am sure that Sanchez has no such intention. As someone who supports With the reform, I have no doubt that it will strengthen democracy and balance the authorities."
