Proud of my friends on the streets in Israel, where mass demonstrations have reached a Tahrir Square moment last night.

Israelis took to the streets 12 weeks in a row to prevent a judicial overhaul that would transform Israel into the next Poland/Hungary.

Last night, Netanyahu fired his defense minister who called for delaying the overhaul. All over the country, 100,000s of people stepped out at 10pm to protest. Today, a general strike and increasing prospects of the gov backing down 👌 🤞

@Mor It would be disastrous for Netanyahu if the government were to back down on attempting to seize the judiciary, as then he'd go to trial.
@toxtethogrady well he *is* on trial, trying to escape his fate -- but with this coalition they have been pushing for a lot more
