Continued conflict between protesters and Israeli authorities in Tel Aviv
Israeli sources said clashes continued between protesters against the judicial reform bill and police forces who were planning to reopen communication lines in downtown Tel Aviv. Last night, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) approved in the second and third readings a bill to abolish the rationality argument in the shadow of a massive opposition protest, and opposition leaders left the hall in protest. At a long meeting, the Knesset began a commotion due to protests and shouts of representatives for and against the argument. According to the Palestinian news agency Sama, the Zionist police tried to open Tel Aviv's Ayalon Street, which was blocked by protesters, with cavalry and water cannons, sparking a violent conflict between the two sides.
Police clashed with protesters in occupied Quds and tried to disperse thousands of people. Clashes broke out between supporters and opponents of Netanyahu in Tel Aviv and occupied Quds. In the town of Hatzrim in the southern Negev desert, security forces opened fire on protesters. Meanwhile, trainee doctors living in occupied Palestine announced that they would go on strike today. By approving the "abolition of sanity" law, Netanyahu's cabinet sought to block the opinion of the Zionist regime's Supreme Court on his statements and appointments and pass the law in the Knesset. The law will not allow the Supreme Court to overrule decisions or cabinet appointments it deems "unreasonable".
