The Brothers in Arms protest group, made up of reservists from the Israel Defense Forces, calls on the coalition to cancel today’s deliberations on the “reasonableness” bill, saying the anti-overhaul protests will continue for as long as the legislation continues to be advanced.
“Rothman, stop the discussions in the Constitution Committee!” the organization says in a statement, addressing far-right Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman, the chair of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee and a key architect of the government’s contentious plans to dramatically weaken the judiciary.
“We give our backing to the IDF soldiers currently operating in Jenin. As long as Simcha Rothman chooses to continue the discussions in the constitution committee, we are forced to continue protesting,” the organization says.
“We call on Rothman to cancel today’s discussions,” the statement reads.
Anti-overhaul protests were ramped up today as the Knesset committee was set to meet to continue its talks on the contentious legislation to limit judicial oversight on government decisions.
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.
