In an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he felt many Israelis protesting his proposed change in legislation don’t understand the intricacies of the bill.
At the end of last year, Netanyahu and Israel’s most far-right government in the nation’s history proposed a series of legislative changes that would drastically overhaul the nation’s judicial system and greatly limit the power of the Supreme Court of Israel. Tens of thousands of Israelis have protested, and Histadrut—Israel’s largest labor union—called for its members to strike.
