West Bank - Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
At dawn on Sunday, Israeli occupation forces killed two Palestinians in the city of Tulkarm, during their incursion into the occupied West Bank. This was announced by the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The army only confirmed that it was conducting "counter-terrorism activities" in the area. A soldier was injured by bullet fragments during clashes in the Nour Shams refugee camp, according to the Israeli army. According to what the Belgian news agency reported this morning, it added, “On the other hand, more than 100,000 people took to the streets again on Saturday evening in the Israeli coastal city of Tel Aviv against the right-wing religious government. Demonstrators also took to the streets in other cities. The protest has been continuing for about 38 days.” One week, it is one of the largest protest movements ever in Israel.
The demonstrators carried, among other things, a large banner with the words “Fugitive Dictator” written on a red background next to a picture of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister is currently in the United States and has also faced protests against the Israeli government there. The Belgian Newspaper Newspaper published an Agence France-Presse photo of the demonstrations along with this report and added that the reason for the discontent among the demonstrators was the reform of the Ministry of Justice. According to the government, the reform should restore the balance of power in the country by reducing the privileges of the Supreme Court. For example, the nation's highest court would not have the ability to challenge "unreasonable" government decisions.
But opponents believe the reform threatens to open the door to an anti-liberal or authoritarian regime. Hundreds of thousands of people have demonstrated in recent months. Israel does not have a constitution, which is why many residents believe it is important for judges to be able to blow the whistle on the government to prevent abuse of power.

The reform plans drawn up by the right-wing government date back to January of this year. In July, Israel's parliament, the Knesset, approved the right-wing government's proposal to limit the influence of the Supreme Court, despite massive opposition. Negotiations to reach a compromise have not yielded any results so far.
