Tel Aviv: Numerous Israelis took to the streets on Saturday night to voice their opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government's plans, which critics claim endanger democracy and freedoms.

Days after the inauguration of the most right-wing and religiously conservative administration in the nation's 74-year history, protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, the capital city.

One sign read, "The settler government is against me." "Housing, Livelihood, Hope" was written on another banner. Rainbow flags were carried by some protesters.

Left-leaning and Arab Knesset members were in charge of the demonstration. They claim that the new Cabinet's proposed plans will impede the judicial system and widen social divides.

The government's long-promised overhaul of the legal system, which aims to weaken the nation's Supreme Court, was unveiled on Wednesday. The left-wing protesters criticised Justice Minister Yariv Levin for his announcement.

The plan, according to critics, will upend Israel's system of checks and balances and undermine its democratic institutions by granting the new ruling coalition absolute power, upending Israel's legal system and undermining its institutions of democracy.

Danny Simon, 77, a protester from Yavne, south of Tel Aviv, said, "We are really afraid that our country is going to lose the democracy and we are going to a dictatorship just for reasons of one person who wants to get rid of his law trial." He was referring to Netanyahu, who was charged with corruption in 2021 and has since denied the allegations.

Additionally, protesters demanded that Jews and Arab citizens of the nation live in harmony.

Rula Daood of the grassroots Arab and Jewish movement "Standing Together" said, "We can see right now many laws being advocated for against LGBTQ, against Palestinians, against larger minorities in Israel." We are here to state unequivocally that we all—Arabs, Jews, and members of other communities in Israel—demand peace, equality, and justice.
