Hundreds protest against Edelstein, government outside the Knesset

As the drama continues inside the Knesset, there’s action outside as well. Several hundreds demonstrators have rallied outside the Israeli parliament, waving black flags and demanding the Speaker Yuli Edelstein adhere to the High Court’s ruling and allow a vote for the speakership to go forward today.

Protesters are calling for “saving Israeli democracy” from the government’s recent actions.
