‘Crisis at heart of Israel deeper than crisis in heart of Netanyahu’

The crisis at the heart of Israel is clearly deeper than that in the heart of the regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, hinting at ongoing protests across the occupied territories against the Netanyahu regime.

“There are reports that doctors have implanted a pacemaker in the heart of the prime minister of the Zionist regime,” Nasser Kan’ani wrote in a tweet on Sunday.

Still, he hastened to add, it is clear that “the crisis at the heart of the Zionist regime is deeper than the crisis in the heart of its prime minister.”

On Saturday, for the 29th consecutive week, hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers again took to the streets in Tel Aviv, West al-Quds, Beersheva, Herzliya and Kfar Saba to protest against the regime’s extremist cabinet, led by Netanyahu.

The protesters, carrying Israeli flags, water bottles and umbrellas against the scorching sun, entered al-Quds and started gathering near the parliament and the Supreme Court in a last-ditch show of force against a contentious judicial overhaul bill pushed by Netanyahu.

The Israeli parliament, the Knesset, is set to begin voting on the bill on Sunday and Monday.

The protesters had arrived in the holy city after a multi-day march that began in Tel Aviv earlier this week.
