Hundreds of thousands of Israelis continue to take to the streets to protest legal reform, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid a domestic political crisis, holds consultations in his office.
Thus, in Jerusalem, on Aza Street, where the residence of the head of government is located, clashes broke out between the police and the demonstrators. The police use water cannons.
Earlier, it was reported that ultra-Orthodox factions were in favor of halting the progress of legal reform but later denied the claims. According to media reports, Justice Minister Yariv Levin opposes stopping the reform, and the Otsma Yehudit faction has said the right-wing camp cannot succumb to violence and renounce its principles.
In turn, Miki Zohar of the Likud party said that if Netanyahu suspended the reform in order to avoid a split in society, he would support such a move. Amihai Scicli also urged the government to admit its mistake and stop the progress of reform.
