Israeli protesters have taken to the streets for a sixth day amid reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet is preparing a no-confidence motion on the attorney general in its latest move against officials deemed hostile to the government, Reuters reports.
The removal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, approved by cabinet last week, was set to be followed by a no-confidence motion today against attorney general Gali Baharav-Miara, who has frequently clashed with the current government.
“We are here to make it clear that Israel is a democracy and will remain a democracy,” said 46-year-old Uri Ash, who was taking part in a protest in Tel Aviv.
“We will overtake this government because it is ruining Israel,” he said.
