On Tuesday morning, protesters closed the main roads between cities in Israel after gathering at Ben Gurion International Airport. The protests against the changes to the Israeli judicial reform intensified in response to the Knesset's approval of a bill to limit the "reasonableness standard" through a first reading, which was passed on Monday night. "I complained to God... Jerusalem will remain Arab," said the Jerusalemite "Nora Sab Leban" from her home in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem after the occupation forces and settlers took over her property.
In this context, the Airports Authority issued a statement warning protesters of the dangers of demonstrating in the area, saying, "The shift from routine to emergency can happen within minutes." The police, in a statement released this morning, stated that "all means and units have been activated to maintain public safety throughout the country." Clashes and skirmishes occurred between settlers and occupation police west of occupied Jerusalem during protests against Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
