Hundreds of Israelis demonstrated at dozens of locations across northern and central Israel on Saturday against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and its push for changes to the judiciary, Israeli media reported.
Channel 12 said protests took place in Haifa, Nahariya, and Western Galilee. Demonstrators also gathered on several bridges in the coastal areas of Maagan Michael and Neurim in central Israel.
Protesters chanted slogans against Netanyahu and his government and held signs blaming him for the failure to prevent the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, according to the channel. They also criticized the judicial changes being advanced by Netanyahu’s government.

Since early 2023, the government has pursued a series of changes that it says would restore the balance between branches of government and curb what it considers excessive judicial interference in executive and legislative decisions.
Opposition parties argue that the measures would weaken judicial independence and limit oversight of the government.
In March 2025, the Knesset passed an amendment changing the composition of the judicial selection committee and the process for appointing judges. It is due to take effect when the next Knesset begins its term.

“Silence is Complicity”
Donald Trump sings and dances, says that it’s fun to kill everyone … unless he gets distracted or falls asleep.
Ed Miliband claims that he and Andy Burnham have reformulated Blair’s triangulation strategy. Their new formulation entails acknowledging that they were wrong on Israel and Palestine but entails doing absolutely nothing about it and continuing exactly the same policies hoping that you’re too stupid to notice.

Hundreds of people gathered at Odenplan Square in Stockholm on Saturday to protest Israeli attacks on Palestine and Lebanon, Anadolu reports.
The demonstrators, responding to calls from several civil society organizations in the Swedish capital, condemned Israeli strikes in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon, as well as violations of ceasefire agreements.
They carried banners reading “Children are being killed in Gaza,” “Schools and hospitals are being bombed,” “Stop the attacks on Lebanon,” “Doctors are not targets. Stop killing our doctors,” and “Give back to Palestinians their land, homes, properties and resources.”
The protesters called for an immediate end to Israel’s attacks on Gaza and urged the Swedish government to stop arms sales to Israel.
Swedish activist Hakan Larsson said he joined the demonstration to show support for the Palestinian people.
Larsson said children in Gaza were continuing to face hunger and that people were being killed in daily bombardments. He said politicians were failing to take necessary action and called for an end to Israel’s military campaign and for peace in the Middle East.

Larsson said Gaza’s health and education infrastructure had been destroyed and described the situation as critical.
“ The situation in Gaza is still very critical. There are no hospitals left. They bombed the schools. Children are suffering from hunger and cannot receive medical supplies because Israel is stopping aid at the border. That is why we must do everything we can to stop this ongoing genocide.”
Pointing to the spread of the attacks across the region, Larsson said, “Similar things are happening in Lebanon. They continue to bomb villages and kill people. We must do everything we can to stop Israel.”
Since the start of the Israeli genocide in October 2023, the Israeli army Israel has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian figures, while around 90% of the territory’s infrastructure has been destroyed.

Portugal’s Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an inquiry into the legality of US military use of Lajes Air Base ahead of its war against Iran, according to media reports.
The inquiry follows a complaint filed by the Left Bloc in April, which called for an investigation into whether the use of the base violated domestic and international law, broadcaster RTP reported Friday.
The party then asked the Attorney General’s Office to investigate whether the use of the base complied with the law, arguing from the outset that it constituted a “gross violation of International Law.”
The coordinator of the Left Bloc, Joss Manuel Pureza, stated at the time that “either the Government” was “in agreement with the gross violation of International Law and Portuguese Law,” or it lacked the “political backbone” to “remove itself from illegality.”

Pureza also questioned the position taken by Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel, who has denied any violation of the agreement between Portugal and the US regarding the military use of Lajes or of International Law.
“I suppose that, moreover, Minister Paulo Rangel himself doesn’t believe what he’s saying. Because saying that the Lajes Air Base isn’t being used for aggressive purposes is pure fabrication. Saying that the Lajes Air Base agreement is being fulfilled is another fabrication.”
According to the report, Pureza believes it is necessary to wait for the conclusions of the inquiry, but understands that, “by taking this step,” the Public Prosecutor’s Office acknowledges that “there is merit” in the complaint filed by the party.

About 5,600 children in Gaza are among approximately 22,000 patients awaiting urgent medical evacuation abroad, according to a senior hospital official, Anadolu reports.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, director of the Children’s and Maternity Building at Nasser Medical Complex, said ongoing delays and border crossing closures have left critically ill and injured patients without access to essential life-saving treatment outside the enclave.
Al-Farra reported that two to three patients die daily while waiting for transfer approvals. He called on the United Nations and international organizations to facilitate the immediate reopening of border crossings to allow medical evacuations.
