Statement of Solidarity in the Struggle to Preserve Democracy in Israel

March 28, 2023 

The persistent, unprecedented campaign by Prime Minister Netanyahu and right-wing leaders in Israel to remove the ability of the court to check legislative power has been alarming. Netanyahu’s announcement that they will delay the court overhaul by one month while simultaneously creating a civilian National Guard under the command of Israel’s extremist minister of national security raises deep concern and demonstrates the threat to Israel’s democracy is not over. The Workers Circle stands in solidarity with the millions of people, civil society organizations, labor unions, diplomats, lawmakers, and members of the military as they protest this fundamental attack on Israel’s democracy.
