Israel’s President has called for a halt to the strike and protests against the government’s proposed judicial reforms.
The proposed reforms have been criticized by opposition leaders and legal experts, who argue that they would undermine the independence of the judiciary and weaken the rule of law in the country.
President Isaac Herzog has urged all sides to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve the issue, and has called on the government to take steps to address the concerns raised by the protesters.
The strike and protests have caused significant disruptions in the legal system, with many court hearings being postponed or canceled. The government has insisted that the reforms are necessary to improve efficiency and reduce delays in the legal system, but critics have argued that they are a thinly veiled attempt to limit judicial oversight of the government.
The situation is ongoing and it remains to be seen whether the government will heed the calls for dialogue and compromise, or whether the protests and strikes will continue.
