Tens of thousands of people gathered Thursday night in Jerusalem to show their support for the justice reform project led by Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Critics believe, on the contrary, that it risks opening the way to an illiberal or authoritarian drift.
The President of the State of Israel, Isaac Herzog, has been holding negotiations for a month with representatives of the government and the opposition to reach a compromise on the terms of this reform. The reform aims to rebalance powers by reducing the prerogatives of the Supreme Court, which the executive considers politicized.
