What are they protesting? “Judicial reform” doesn’t give us much to go on.

My question as well. The issue isn’t clearly defined. I guess you must be well informed about Israeli internal politics to understand the concerns.

The government wants to limit the power of the judiciary. Right now they can strike down any law they don’t like for any reason. And the legislature and cabinet only has a say in the appointment of a minority of judges to the high court. The left-wing bar association gets to appoint the rest. This is somehow unacceptable to leftards in an elite commando unit.

Israel’s judges are mostly Left, and the system allows the Leftist judges to control who gets to be a judge.

“Judicial reform” would end that. The Left cannot tolerate not being in control of the judges and being able to strike down any laws they hate.
