Thousands demonstrate in Jerusalem: Netanyahu is under pressure!

thousands of people have once again protested in Jerusalem against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, such as oe24 reported . On Thursday, the security forces started water cannons to keep the demonstrators apart, and there were several arrests. The uprising is a reaction to the controversial dismissal of the head of the domestic secret service Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, and to resume the offensive against the Gaza Strip. Protesting express great concerns about the future of Israel and the 59 hostages recorded in Gaza. One participant, 59-year-old Rinat Hadashi, emphasized: "We are very, very concerned that our country becomes a dictatorship."

The protests continued on the third day in a row, and there were clashes at important government locations, where many demonstrators tried to break through barriers. Planned rallies in Tel Aviv have also been announced, such as SPIEGEL reported . The conflict shows how deep social division in Israel has become since Netanyahu came back to power at the end of 2022. A wave of government -critical protests broke out with Hamas before the war, especially against the government's attempt to limit the influence of the judiciary, which many see as a threat to democracy.

In addition, the dismissal of secret service chief Bar ensures outrage, while Netanyahu is faced with further legal challenges, including an ongoing corruption process. Critics accuse the government of not sufficient for the release of the hostages and call up to far -reaching changes in politics to strengthen national security and democratic values.
