Israel judicial reforms
Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Tel Aviv and other cities across the occupied territories against the Israeli cabinet’s judicial reforms. The rallies were held despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu putting the controversial reforms on hold a month ago. The rallies were the first major ones since the regime’s parliament officially opened its summer session earlier this week. Protesters blocked central traffic arteries and highways in Tel Aviv. They also gathered outside Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s residence in al-Quds and outside the homes of ministers in Tel Aviv. Similar demonstrations have been held since the judicial overhaul plan was presented in January. It seeks to give the Israeli cabinet greater control over the judiciary.
UK rail strike
Britain’s RMT trade union says railway workers voted in favor of further strike action in a new ballot. It says the strike is part of a long-running pay dispute with train operating companies. Thousands of railway workers in Britain are planning a strike on May 13. The RMT has rejected the latest pay offer from train companies. It said the workers’ vote sends a clear message to the employers. RMT said the employees’ anger is very real and employers should recognize the fact. The UK has seen a wave of industrial actions across various public and private sectors since last summer. Workers demand inflation-matching raises. Inflation in Britain has hit a 40-year high of about 10 percent.
