as israel deals with widespread protests against efforts by the new right when government to reform the judiciary. the proposed laws would reduce the powers of the supreme court and allow more political influence. and the appointment of judges . crowds opposing these plans blocked roads leading to israel's main international airport. disruption forced both prime minister benjamin netanyahu and visiting us secretary of defense, lloyd austin to change plans. 7 let's go straight to the w, correspond antonio kramer, inter rosalyn, who has the latest? at what more can you tell us about this attack at this point? well, as you said, we see no mass protests across the country virtually. after 9 p. m. local time, a gunman starts to shoot at people in the center of television in the very, very busy street, even ga street. it's a street with cafes and restaurants and,

and pop. so people are coming together. he was shooting at people sitting in a restaurant or cafe there, according to the emergency service. megan david, a don at 3 people were wounded. one of them is in critical condition. they were all transferred, obviously to the hospital, but he said the attacker was short, so according to unconfirmed media reports and the palestinian and in these very media, he was a palestinian or from a village in the occupied of west bank. and the police had said that they consider this a terrorist attack. they have cleared the areas well, you know, whenever there were some people for protesting you know, to do their police work. now, before the news of this attack ro, thousands of israelis came out across the country to protest against proposed changes to the judicial system. are these unprecedented protest washing lawmakers

to make a compromise? well, that is still to see. i mean, i mean i could say that protesters have made it very clear as in recent weeks, so it's almost no 2 months at people. many israelis are going out on the streets to protest the government plans to change the legal system mainly to curb the powers of the nations as supreme court. but they also protesting against this very hasty process by the right wing government the far right village. government led by benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, and they're pushing it through the kinessa. many people are very angry about this. know we heard again to night and a very unusual address. these really president, i suck a hot, so a calling on all sides to find a compromise. but he also said very clearly that to yeah, i asked the government to drop this legislation to drop it and not to push it further through the process or do process in the kinessa that it becomes

a law. he said he's working on a compromise with different stakeholders, but so far it hasn't really materialized. and so we have to say the stand of and also the divisions. and the polarization here are growing deeper by the day in jerusalem things in ga, the ruling party has dropped a controversial foreign agent bill following 2 nights of violent clashes between police and protesters. despite the u, turn thousands continue to rally in the capital tbilisi. they fear the government wants to put georgia on a path towards authoritarianism and away from its goal of joining the european union. and the draft echoed a russian law used to silence critics and protesters bound to resist when they called government attempts to drag the country back under the kremlin insolence o feud cheers for the european union.

and the rejection of russian influence. ah, as nathan's and people go the peacefully outside the door employment, the messages are clear. of the 2 days of violent protests, the ruling georgia dream party earlier announced its withdrawing its disputed for an agent bill mortgage wishes on the legislation. we brought out for a 2nd hearing and hearing that 2nd hearing that will fail on let me once again make this political statement of the law will fail, but no one voting for it are going on. this will resolve. the issues had longer that were troubled armstrong, but protesters think that the government is just paying lip service. so odd is number one midway camera today is definitely the 1st victory that this protest is brought. but this fight is not ended yet, because we do not trust the promises of the ruling party, which they are only giving to us to stop the protests. therefore,

the protests will carry on until officially with their own hands. they press the button in the georgian parliament that abolishes the bill. i mean, the controversial legislation would have required and use and independent media who received more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to declare themselves. foreign agents protest is classed with police for more than 2 consecutive days. officials say 50 offices were injured and more than a $130.00 demonstrators were detained during that time. those attending the latest rally also demanded this swift release. demonstrators said the law is reminiscent of existing legislation in russia that has been used to crack down on descent and that it could damage the country's relationship with the european union. opponents of the georgian government scored a victory to day,

but they say the fight is not yet over to w correspond, maria cut our months as in tbilisi and seeing that protesters remain on the streets after the announcement i asked her of georgians, don't believe the government will keep its word on withdrawing the controversial legislation. oh yes. nicole. people are still coming to us. the valley of the parliament, parliament square, where the process has been going on for past 3 days. and then we've spoke to some of the protests us and they saw that they don't really believe the government anymore, given that they allowed such a bill, you know, being discussed even in the parliament. so they're saying that they don't have any trust to the ruling policy, georgia dream, and they won't surrender until the law is a legally withdrawn from, from the parliament. we also have reports that demonstrators detained during anti government rallies have been released. can you confirm that?

what are you hearing there? yes, so you know, they organize us announced that some of the protests are detained protests. those were released early on. people were, you know, dancing, chanting ada, taunting freedom freedom to georgia. and you call. it's very interesting to observe how anti legislation anti foreign law on foreign agent legislation became a very kind of pro european riley, anti crumbling riley. people were saying, never back to russia, we will not surrender until we, you know, we'll get to the european union. and today people are really, really happy, but still very vigilant. they're following what the government's response would be . i want to know what you make of today's official announcement that parliament will be shut down for several days. the announcement read due to the damage

inflicted by violent protesters to the parliament building. now it is parliament that has to formally withdraw this controversial bill. it does not contribute to the distrust that these people out there on stream or voicing. yes, actually not any more because we've just received a statement from their parliament saying that tomorrow there will be a hearing in the parliament at 12 o'clock and the different monteros will be discussing, you know, important issues, not specifying what exactly but people here are saying that it might be, you know, foreign agents law with sale as i saw, the suspicion is still there, and tomorrow we will see how georgia is opposition for georgia. so position to this foreign or asian law works out in the and maria can months into blue sea.
