"You trample on Shabbat": Demonstrators against Nir Barkat outside a restaurant in Tel Aviv on Saturday
Don't stop
After a week in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who in numerous interviews with foreign channels did not say that he would respect the Supreme Court ruling, his coalition partners spoke out against the judicial system and openly called for disobedience and the basic right of the Supreme Court to criticize any legislation. The demonstration in Kaplan will begin with the weekly march of the protest organizations at 19:00 from Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv, and when the following speakers will speak: Dr. Ronit Levin-Schnur, Reichman University, leader of the Forum of Law Lecturers for Democracy, Keren Turner, former Director General of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Transportation, Sharon Ramon, Director of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Nature School, and Yoav Stern, High School student, representative of the youth protest. The demonstration will be led by Prof. Shikma Bressler.
One of the protest leaders said: "Netanyahu, in a malicious campaign, is trying to whitewash a constitutional crisis that will lead to the destruction of the rule of law in Israel. If the government does not accept Supreme Court rulings, it is a signal to all criminals to do whatever they want. Israel is in the throes of a public debate in which senior ministers say they will not abide by court rulings. In the face of destruction and destruction, we will stand in the hundreds of thousands for the 31st week to stop the disintegration of the state. Our hope has not yet been lost."
