President of the U.S.A Joe Biden “not afraid” that the situation in Israel will escalate into a “civil war,” a White House spokesman assured today, answering a question about a serious crisis in that country.
“Israel has a long democratic tradition“, – commented John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council. However, he reiterated that Washington is “concerned” by the justice reform plan promoted by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
A huge crowd – about 80,000 people according to Israeli media – gathered around the Knesset, the parliament building in Jerusalem, this afternoon to protest the attempt at reform.
The largest trade union in the country today called a general strike, which is observed both in the public sector and in many private companies, which is an extremely rare event.
