Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned against what he described as the opposition's calls for a "civil war" in the country, by seeking to escalate protests and strikes.
Netanyahu said during a weekly cabinet session that he made promises before the parliamentarian elections to carry out reforms in the judiciary, considering that the plan that the government seeks to implement was clear to everyone before forming the government, and he insisted on moving forward with it.
Netanyahu urged the opposition "not to get carried away by inflammatory slogans of the destruction of the state and civil war."
And claimed that when he led the opposition, such statements were not directed against the government, according to the Times of Israel.
"We expect the opposition leaders to act in the same spirit," he said.
The Israeli Prime Minister's statements came after mass anti-government demonstrations took place in the streets of Tel Aviv, aiming for democracy and rejecting the judicial reforms announced by the new Minister of Justice.
