7:03 pm
this is at the moment your songs will be song, you have families out here, men, women, and children of all ages. people are determined as they tell me at all costs to protect democracy here in israel, when it comes to compromise. that is a good question because you had a months long break where the prime minister in march to show this proposed package of legislation that would overall the dish arrangement because there was so much pressure. there had been general striking. there were hundreds of thousands of people out in the streets even said it was going to try to afford your passport word in which to compromise. by defining consensus with the opposition. well, in the last few weeks, those parts broke down essentially on the table. because they did not believe that the prime minister was located in good faith. so because because about to in this session and go on summer recess by the end of the month,
7:04 pm
the prime minister and his bar, right, we'd like to see one part of that opposed package was passed. and that's where we are today in the can asset base is ongoing suspected, possibly until tomorrow, or this one bill earlier were since we were all this other work in this country, but as you see behind us that has not diminished just the yes and the we're seeing some demonstrators continue to come out, this has been a scorching the hot day. now they were going to gather in front of the can. yes it but because of security measures there they have. now we can beat here . we are told they are expected to continue out here for several hours and there was a park close by where they were going to set up an in camp 0. you know, mom and when i looked at this i wonder, what is netanyahu's breaking point? we know he has one because in the 1st wave of protests at some point, he said ok,
7:05 pm
i'm putting everything on pause. we're going back to the drawing board and we'll negotiate. and he started trying to pass this law in small electronics that he's, as you've explained to us and previous hours. do you have any read on whether there's still some give there for net and, you know, 0. i will tell you that amongst the demonstrators like to speak, they are starting to feel whole bit perhaps, perhaps the prime minister would consider trying to walk this a bit. that's because the protests were out. morgan, the cedars, that was there are thousands of members of the army reserve unit report for duty. if this bill passes upon ministers under a lot of questions right now. the prime minister in a video address actually rather was a video to be uploaded to twitter edition couple of hours ago because he actually
7:06 pm
went into the hospital overnight. he had a pace maker inserted because because he had to go to the hospital, the prime minister said that he's for the finance for his office at the hospital trying to see some kind of a consensus for that. he expects that this past tomorrow in the book is the general practice called to do some more members of the me, which are easy to show up duty if you have more pressure from different ministers. right now, it's a very fluid situation because we're out here. i do believe that if there are more people out in the streets to protest grow, if there is perhaps even a general strike or a more ministers, the call for a halt on this. if there is international pressure, then perhaps the prime minister will take a step back, but everything is 1st so far from the 5 minutes of today's suggest that he's going to for j 0, right mohammed junction reporting there. thank you very much for the key coming back to you. the crowds definitely there in front of the supreme court. thanks mohammed. let's take a look at some of the reasons why so many protesters are angry. the full package

7:08 pm
hundreds of thousands of people in the streets, often of even jerusalem are either unwilling or incapable to see the link between 5 decades plus the patient of oppression. a party and its effect on their own political system for 5 seconds or so. there are 2 processes that's been happening. it is pretty 1967 is that it was basically more set to learn more as giving us your dominated. i would say even more sent that list and then what hard designs after 967 was 2 processes began to happen is that one is pretty decided session of religion. those alter, alter box consecutive parties that were basically non designers became active designers. and those types of national respect were quite secular. again, for some of the, the 96 of them was divine intervention was a middle, the army became sick or illegal supplements became retentive. so you
