CRISIS IN ISRAEL 

 Israel has been in a serious political crisis since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the rest of the far-right government introduced a judicial law reform that imposes the power of parliamentarians over that of magistrates. The country's president, Isaac Herzog, has demanded an end to this project, which has unleashed massive anti-government demonstrations.

"Our security, our economy and our society are all threatened", adds the president, who solemnly appeals "to the Prime Minister, to the members of the government and to those of the majority" to "immediately stop" the examination of the project in Parliament " in the name of the unity of the people of Israel"

Netanyahu dismissed Defense Minister Yoav Galant this weekend for calling for a pause in the judicial reform process.

The reform project proposed by the government of Mr. Netanyahu, one of the most right-wing in the history of Israel, aims to increase the power of elected officials over that of judges.
