Israeli protesters carry torches during a rally against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government, in Tel Aviv on January 21, 2023.

"Resistance against dictatorship!" The theme of today's rallies in Israel. Israeli people have held protest rallies for weeks in a row. Once again, police officers were caught on camera using physical force against unarmed protesters protesting the Israeli cabinet's judicial reform plan.

Thanks to the rallies, a meeting between Netanyahu and visiting US defense secretary Lloyd Austin had to be confined to an area in the vicinity of the Ben Gurion Airport amid tight security. Angry people are calling for numerous changes to the status quo.

How far is this supposed to go? Is it going to go as far as dealing a lethal blow to the extremist cabinet of Mr. Netanyahu? We will discuss those and more questions in this episode of the Spotlight.
