image for ‘Night is descending on Israel’: Over 100,000 rally in Tel Aviv; largest protest yet

Police estimated that some 110,000 people gathered on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street and at Habima Square, making it the largest protest yet.

Last week saw some 80,000 protesters at Tel Aviv’s Habima Square and several thousand more in Jerusalem and Haifa.

Many roads in central Tel Aviv were blocked due to the demonstration, and police forces were out in large numbers to maintain order.

Channel 12 said Netanyahu’s coalition wants a first reading of the bill in the Knesset by February 1.

Moshe Ya’alon, former defense minister and a key protest leader, called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s desired government a “dictatorship of criminals.”.

At the Tel Aviv protest, several said Benjamin Netanyahu was pursuing far-reaching judicial reform in a bid to slip his ongoing corruption trial.

Later in the night, protesters in Tel Aviv held a march with torches down several main roads in the city. »

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Joe Biden “looks forward” to sitting down with new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to discuss a range of topics, including perhaps the thorniest challenge confronting Washington this year: raising the nation’s debt limit.

One hitch: That statement Friday came with no actual invitation to the White House, and no date nor time for a meeting.

Rather, the White House again emphasized that Biden is not willing to entertain policy concessions in exchange for lifting the debt limit, which is the nation’s borrowing authority. »
