  • Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv on Saturday against the decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to dismiss the head of the Shin Bet domestic intelligence service and resume fighting in Gaza.

The article from MSN discusses the resurgence of anti-government protests in Israel following the dismissal of Yoav Gallant, the Defense Minister, by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Gallant was sacked after he publicly called for a halt to the government's controversial judicial overhaul plan, which has been criticized for potentially undermining Israel's democracy by reducing the powers of the judiciary. The dismissal has intensified public outrage, leading to widespread demonstrations across the country. Protesters are not only opposing the judicial reforms but also Netanyahu's leadership, especially in light of his ongoing corruption trial. The situation has escalated tensions, with calls for a general strike and significant disruptions, highlighting a deepening political crisis in Israel.
