Berale Crombie woke up on March 27th to a country in flames. The night before, hundreds of thousands of Israelis had protested on the streets of Tel Aviv and other big cities, lighting fires, clashing with police and blocking traffic. They were venting their opposition to the prime minister Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu’s controversial judicial reforms – which will strip the Supreme Court of much of its power – and his abrupt dismissal of a minister who had called for the reforms to be halted. Military reservists stopped reporting for duty. Labour unions announced they would strike. Shopping centres and universities closed. Flights out of Israel were grounded.
Berale Crombie将于3月27日醒来,到达了一个烈火的国家。前一天晚上,成千上万的以色列人在特拉维夫和其他大城市的街道上抗议,点燃大火,与警察发生冲突并阻止交通。他们正在反对比尼明(Bibi)内塔尼亚胡有争议的司法改革的反对,该改革将剥夺最高法院的大部分权力 - 他突然驳回了呼吁制止改革的部长。军事预备役人员停止报告值班。工会宣布他们将罢工。购物中心和大学关闭。从以色列出发的航班被扎根。
