Israel's political crisis deepened on Tuesday as
doctors across the country went on strike in protest against the passage of a key part of Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul.
The strike, which is expected to last for 24 hours, will
shut down hospitals and clinics across Israel, causing significant disruption to healthcare
services.
The strike is the latest in a series of protests against the judicial overhaul, which
critics say would undermine the independence of the judiciary and give Netanyahu too much
power.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Monday night,
calling for Netanyahu to resign.
The protests come as Israel's political deadlock shows no signs
of easing. Netanyahu's ruling coalition is deeply divided, and there is no clear path to forming a new
government.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Israel is scheduled to hold
elections in November.
It remains to be seen how the protests will affect the political landscape
in the coming months. However, it is clear that the judicial overhaul is a highly divisive issue that has
sparked widespread anger among Israelis.
