Holding an Israeli flag high about her head, key anti-overhaul protest organizer Shikma Bressler leads the crowd of tens of thousands at the Knesset gates in chanting: “We won’t give up!”
Bressler was arrested at a protest last week and was later released.
Former IDF chief of staff Dan Halutz says: “Remember March 27, 2023.”
“It’s the day that you succeeded in stopping Israel from becoming a dictatorship,” he says.
“Our goal is to reach agreements, but not be destroyed,” he says of Israeli society, expressing his wish to continue protests until an agreed-upon judicial reform solution is reached.
As the protest kicks into high gear, a protester faints, interrupting Halutz’s speech as the police rush into the crowd to help.
“The police are our brothers,” some demonstrators start to cheer.
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.
