Leaders of the ongoing protest movement against the judicial overhaul promise an intense day of demonstrations on Tuesday.

“We are going to intensify our struggle. Mark your calendars down for Tuesday, which will be a protest such as has never been seen before in Israel,” they say in a statement.

The statement adds that “there will be no return to negotiations without completely tossing the dictatorial laws… if this legislation passes, Israel will be on a clear path to become a fanatical and extreme dictatorship.”
