Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets on February 11, 2023, to protest against a proposed judicial overhaul. The protests, which were held in cities across the country, were organized in response to a controversial bill that would give the government more control over the appointment of judges.
Critics of the bill argue that it would undermine the independence of the judiciary and could lead to political interference in the legal system. They say that the bill would allow the government to appoint judges who are sympathetic to their views and could be used to undermine the rule of law.
The protests, which were largely peaceful, saw tens of thousands of Israelis from all walks of life gather to express their opposition to the proposed reforms. Demonstrators carried signs and chanted slogans calling for the preservation of the independence of the judiciary.
The proposed reforms have sparked widespread criticism, not only from within Israel but also from international human rights organizations. They have raised concerns about the impact that the reforms could have on the country's democratic institutions and have called on the government to reconsider its plans.
The Israeli government has defended the proposed reforms, saying that they are necessary to improve the efficiency of the judicial system and to make it more accessible to the public. They argue that the current system is slow and bureaucratic, and that the proposed reforms would streamline the process and make it more efficient.
