Crowds of protesters gather outside the Government Quarter in Jerusalem as the cabinet meeting gets underway inside, with the top item on the agenda being a motion of no-confidence in Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
Baharav-Miara is not present in the meeting, nor is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, due to a conflict of interest that prevents him from being directly involved in the proceedings. Instead, the cabinet meeting is being led by Justice Minister Yariv Levin.
Protesters wave Israeli flags alongside yellow flags representing the plight of the 59 hostages still captive in Gaza.
Retired Supreme Court justice Ayala Procaccia accuses the government of being motivated by outside interests.
She warns rallygoers that Israel is “no longer a free democracy, but another regime, one that we do not know. A regime in which there is no rule of law and no true freedom, a regime that lacks human rights protections.”
“We cannot put up with such a regime,” she says, calling for protesters to continue showing up and to “unite against the destruction of the image of the state.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
