Hundreds of protesters rallied Friday outside Downing Street in central London to heckle the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a meeting with his British counterpart Rishi Sunak.
Netanyahu has faced weeks of escalating protests in Israel over his government's judicial reform programme, which would increase politicians' power over the courts and critics argue is a threat to democracy.
They erected the letters of the word"democracy" on Whitehall opposite the entrance to the gated street, while wielding signs accusing Netanyahu of dragging Israel towards"dictatorship". "It's anger, it's sadness," she said of her emotions."It's just hard to believe it's becoming a dictatorship." The pair will discuss"the need to formulate a united international front against Iran in order to stop its nuclear program", it added.
