MINISTER OF DEFENSE WAS DISMISSED

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Galant, who spoke out in a tone against planned changes to the judicial system. Galant was a well-known figure as a close ally of Netanyahu.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets following Galant’s dismissal. In Jerusalem, police and soldiers intervened with water cannons against protesters who were protesting near Netanyahu’s house. The protesters accuse Netanyahu of behaving like a dictator and harming Israel’s security.

WHAT WILL CHANGE WITH THE JUDICIAL REFORM?

The new draft law makes it difficult to remove politicians from office who the courts have ruled that they are not fulfilling their duties.

It is suggested that Netanyahu, who has corruption charges against him, has prepared this draft law for his own benefit.
