Israel, doctors’ “preventive” strike against justice reform
Israeli doctors held a two-hour strike yesterday, Wednesday July 19, to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to overhaul the country’s justice system. Doctors say the plan will endanger public health by giving Netanyahu and his allies greater control over the country’s health system.
Wearing white coats and holding placards reading “We are the wall that protects democracy,” doctors gathered outside Tel Aviv’s Ichilov hospital. Medical leaders have warned they will take tougher measures if Netanyahu’s government – the most right-wing in Israel’s 75-year history – proceeds with a proposed law to limit the judiciary’s oversight powers, which could become law as early as next week.
