Business leaders say will set up protest tent in Jerusalem
Top business leaders have announced they will set up a protest tent in Jerusalem on Thursday with the aim of stopping the coalition’s advancement of a law to curtail judicial oversight.
“Unilateral legislation will cause the destruction of the economy and the country. Changes are made through negotiations,” the so-called Business Forum says in a statement.
“We call for the reaching of agreements and preventing irreversible destruction to Israel’s economy,” the organization says.
The group includes owners of banks, hotels, shopping malls and fashion retail chains.
