Tens of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in protest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's dismissal of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who had challenged the Israeli leader's judicial overhaul plan. In response, the Histadrut umbrella group has called for a general strike that could paralyze large parts of the Israeli economy, already weakened by the coronavirus pandemic. The move has raised concerns among close allies of Israel, who have expressed their concern over Netanyahu's plan.
