Opposition leader Yair Lapid addresses the tens of thousands who have gathered outside the Knesset to protest the judicial overhaul.
“We will not stay quiet,” Lapid says. “We will not stay quiet as they destroy everything that is precious and sacred to us.”
“They hear us, and suddenly discover that we’re not ready to play the game the way they planned it. We’re not here just to pay taxes,” Lapid says.
“If they continue this craziness, don’t talk to us about unity. There’s no unity when only one side makes the rules,” says the opposition leader.
“What they hear here from this place isn’t the voice of exhaustion, it’s the voice of hope… it’s what makes our voice clear and loud,” he says, his own voice straining.
“People of Israel, we will fight in the streets, we’ll fight until we win,” he says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
