Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argued on Sunday that besides the approximately 100,000 demonstrators on Saturday night against his government's judicial reform were over 2 million voters who knew fully well that the government's intentions were – and therefore he had the public backing to carry out the reforms. Is this true? The short answer is, not really.
First, out of all voters, approximately 2.3 million people voted for the coalition parties. While about 2.5 million did not (including parties that didn't pass the electoral threshold).
