TEL AVIV (Dispatches) –
Israel’s president Isaac Herzog revealed Monday that the Zionist regime has entered a profound disagreement that will tear the entity apart.
Herzog said in media statements, “This conflict worries me deeply, as it worries many across Israel and the diaspora.”
“I am now focused on two critical roles that I believe I bear as president at this hour: averting a historic constitutional crisis and stopping the continued rift within our nation,” he added.
Herzog noted that over the past week he has worked around the clock and in every possible way with the relevant authorities to restrain the deepening strife.
He said he is unsure his efforts will bear fruit, as the road is long and the gaps between the parties are wide.
The occupying regime of Israel has been witnessing two weeks of political tensions, against the backdrop of the Israeli opposition’s organization of mass demonstrations on Saturday, against the policies of the new regime, especially with regard to the changes that Netanyahu intends to bring about under the pretext of reforming the judiciary in Occupied Palestine.
Tens of thousands gathered in the pouring rain to protest against the plan to weaken the supreme court and empower the parliament to appoint judges.
The parliament includes some of the most extremist members who have articulated highly racist and provocative views against Palestinians.
Netanyahu’s cabinet is extremely weak after making numerous concessions to hardline parties in order to form a cabinet.
Authorities estimated that up to 80,000 people came out for the Tel Aviv protest Saturday, while several thousand rallied in front of the president’s residence in Al-Quds. Marches were also held in other cities across Occupied Palestine, including in the northern city of Haifa.
The police blocked the road leading to Netanyahu’s residence in Al-Quds. Security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, one the most extremist politicians in the Zionist regime, had ordered the police to crack down on the protesters by using water cannons and arresting those who try to block roads.
The new plan includes passing a law that would allow the governing coalition to override supreme court rulings by a simple majority of 61 votes in the 120-member Knesset.
It also seeks to end the supreme court’s ability to revoke administrative decisions on the grounds of “reasonability,” significantly decreasing judicial oversight.
The plan envisions giving the regime and the coalition in parliament absolute control over appointing judges.
Additionally, the plan includes changing the law so that ministers would be able to install political appointees as legal advisers in their ministries, something that is not under their authority today.
Opposition parties, grassroots organizations and others have come out strongly against the plan, with legal experts saying it will eliminate the ability of the judicial branch to do the checks and balances against the executive and legislative branches, which are both controlled by the governing coalition.
The plan, announced less than two weeks after Netanyahu’s right-wing regime took office, has deepened political divisions and stoked fear among some that the heightened tensions could tear the Zionist society apart.
China’s foreign minister said Monday the occupying regime of Israel must stop “incitements and provocations” against Palestinians, particularly in Al-Quds amid rise in tensions in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Qin Gang said, “We urge the Israeli side to stop incitement and provocations and to avoid any unilateral move that may aggravate the situation.”
Over the past months, the Zionist regime has ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and cities throughout the occupied territories. As a result of these

attacks, dozens of Palestinians have lost their lives and many others have been arrested.
The United Nations has marked 2022 as the deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank in 16 years.
Israeli forces martyred at least 171 Palestinians in the West Bank and occupied East Al-Quds last year, including more than 30 children. At least 9,000 others were injured as well.
Qin said, “China’s President Xi Jinping has recently stressed that the historic oppression the Palestinian people are subjected to should not continue indefinitely and that the Palestinians’ legitimate, national rights should not be compromised.”
He also urged the international community to find a “just and urgent solution” to the Palestinian cause.
