Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Sunday that his country is in the midst of a division that is tearing it apart, Anadolu reports.
Tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening to protest plans by the new government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to overhaul the legal system.
“We are in the grip of a profound division that is tearing our nation apart. This conflict worries me deeply, as it worries many across Israel and the Diaspora,” Herzog said in a statement on Twitter.
