Protests against Neyanyahu surge amid attempt to fire security chief

Since Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Natanyahu’s attempt to fire security chief Ronen Bar – despite a court ruling against the move – regular protests against the Israeli leader are growing “and they are being joined by major forces in Israeli society”, says FRANCE 24 correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky, reporting from Israel. Among them, heads of industry, commerce and labour unions who have threatened strikes that could bring the country to a halt if the government defies the courts.
