Hundreds of thousands of Israelis took to the streets of several cities last Saturday expressing their opposition to the reforms being promoted by the coalition government of Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the work of Justice.

In Tel Aviv alone last Saturday, the number of demonstrators was estimated to exceed 100,000, with protests taking place on the same day in other cities: Jerusalem, Haifa, etc.

The protesters have now moved their appointment to next Saturday, January 28, and strikes are expected during the current week (January 24 in particular), in which many employees of the country’s private technology companies are also going to take part.

It is noted that health workers also went on strike a few days ago, but for other reasons: with a request to strengthen security measures in hospitals.
