The right is returning to the streets under the banner “They won’t invalidate the people’s choice,” with plans to stage a mass protest outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem. The demonstration is aimed at opposing what organizers describe as judicial interference in the functioning of the right-wing government — including delays in appointing a new head of the Shin Bet, intervention in the conduct of the war, and obstruction of efforts to advance Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria.
The rally will take place on Thursday, 9 Sivan (5.6) at 7:00 PM in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem.
Several right-wing organizations, led by families of hostages and bereaved relatives of fallen soldiers, are planning a mass demonstration outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem next week. The protest will deliver a pointed message to the judiciary: “The people are sovereign — you have no authority to sabotage our victory or the right-wing government.”
The organizers are supported by several right-wing organizations, led by the Tekuma movement, which led the huge right-wing demonstrations demanding the judicial reform promoted by Justice Minister Yariv Levin. Tekuma held a series of huge demonstrations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv with the participation of hundreds of thousands of participants.
Be’rale Crombie, chairman of the Tekuma movement and one of the giant rally’s organizers, said the demonstration is a response to what he described as systemic obstruction by the judiciary and bureaucratic establishment. “The legal system and legal activism, along with Israel’s entrenched bureaucracy, are preventing decision-makers from acting,” he said. “They are blocking the right-wing government and limiting its ability to implement policy. They undermine the war effort, delay settlement in Judea and Samaria, and obstruct the development of strategic farms and the founding of new communities.”
“And worst of all – Gali Baharav Miara and Judge Yitzhak Amit are working to harm the prime minister, there is a deliberate attempt here to declare the prime minister incapacitated. The answer to this must be unequivocal: the people are the sovereign! The people have the power to choose their representatives. They are the ones who should lead – not unelected officials. Our demand is clear: to remove the intervention of the High Court of Justice and the legal system in the conduct of the war and the promotion of settlement in Judea, Samaria, the Negev, and the Galilee,” explains Crombie.
