President Isaac Herzog’s proposal on Sunday evening to halt the government’s proposed judicial reform before the first reading of the bill reaches the Knesset plenum seemed irrelevant on Tuesday as the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee resumed debating it.

Monday’s mass protests also did not seem to sway the coalition. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly condemned the protests outside the Knesset on Monday afternoon, which were attended by more than 90,000 people. Opposition leaders were “deliberately dragging the country down into anarchy,” he said. “The opposition is running amok inside the Knesset, and MKs are jumping on the tables,” Netanyahu said in a video. “At the leftist demonstration, they are calling the prime minister a traitor.”
