Amid protests, Netanyahu cancels participation in Navy event

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled his planned participation in a Navy officers’ course graduation later this evening.

A schedule from the Prime Minister’s Office had said Netanyahu was due to speak at the ceremony in Haifa at 5 p.m.

Netanyahu is no longer listed on the list of speakers.

The cancellation is thought to be related to the ongoing protests today against the government’s judicial overhaul plans.
