It is this DNA that fueled 12 weeks, and counting, of spontaneous, grassroots mass protests by hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens - most of them Jews - religious, secular, from the left and from the right, newcomers and veterans, from different economic backgrounds and all walks of life, from all areas of the country, including those from Judea and Samaria, who have stood up as one to thwart the attempted coup. The Declaration of Independence of the state of Israel is an inseparable part of the DNA of the state of Israel and the Jewish people. Those who tried to bring about a coup did not understand that Israel's Declaration of Independence is part and parcel of the mind, heart, body and soul of the absolute majority of Israeli Jews - it flows in their veins and is imprinted in their souls. However, the architects of the blitz turned a blind eye and a deaf ear and continued unabated, full steam ahead. And there were increasing warnings from leading experts in varied disciplines about the profoundly harmful consequences of the legislation for the state of Israel from every conceivable angle. ![]() Their resolute, unwavering and aggressive determination in pursuing this legislation resulted in massive public protests representing the sentiments of most Israeli Jews.

The extreme wing in the religious Zionist camp together with politicians from the ultranationalist-conservative wing of Likud sense an opportunity to form a conservative ultranationalist dictatorship. The prime minister of Israel and the leader of the Likud party, Benjamin Netanyahu - a skilled and charismatic politician - wants to gain control over the judicial system to evade indictment over corruption charges he is facing. Each of the partners has an interest in such a coup. The current government is based on a coalition of three partners: the Likud party, the largest of Israel's parties the religious Zionist camp and the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) camp. ![]() The predatory-style tactics and the content of the legislation have generated a profound and very justified concern among many Israelis that this reform is, in fact, a coup aimed at turning Israel into an ultra-national, conservative dictatorship. Since taking office at the end of December 2022, the governing coalition has tried to reform the judicial system through a blitz of legislation. A very unique combination of circumstances led to the establishment of the current Israeli government. ![]()
