Anti-overhaul protest leader Prof. Shikma Bressler tells demonstrators in Tel Aviv that despite the Knesset break, the threat of the coalition’s plans still looms.
“The Knesset may be on a break but the coup continues at full strength. In the crosshairs is anyone that doesn’t fall in line with the rebellion declared by [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, led by the fascists, and with the support of the corrupt against the rule of law, on the state, and on us,” Bressler says.
“Everyone of us understands that the time to fight is now,” she adds.
Bressler gives her backing to police volunteers and military reservists protesting the overhaul, and three women in top positions — Michal Rosenbaum, director of the Companies Authority; Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara; and Supreme Court Chief Justice Esther Hayut — who have all faced attacks from government members.
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.
