Over 1,000 protest outside Gallant’s home

Over 1,000 demonstrators, led by a group representing reservist soldiers, are protesting outside Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s home in Moshav Amikam in northern Israel.

“Gallant, who is silent out of fear, who realizes that he is responsible for the disintegration of the people’s army, who knows that the IDF soldiers will be charged in The Hague, who lends a hand to the dictatorship,” the Brothers in Arms protest group says.

Increasingly, reservists — who are a key part of the army’s routine activities, including in top units — have warned they will not be able to serve in an undemocratic Israel, which they charge the country will become under the government’s judicial overhaul plan.
