demonstrations and violence in tel aviv on saturday nights is israeli police, you take us in water cannon to disperse people, protesting against proposed judicial reforms. ah more than under 60000 people have taken the streets to express their indignation on pending reforms by israel's new conservative government. as, according to local media reports, the protests which began several weeks ago for these ready governments decision to cut down the authority of the nation supreme court demonstrate to say the move is an unjustifiable blow to the independence of the country's judicial branch. let's go live now to form a is really console in los angeles yaki dine yaki, thanks very much for finding a time to speak to us today. and for. busy now 1st of all,
8:12 am
i just want to ask to see how likely do you think it is that these protests will force the government to make a new turn on the stunts regarding that reform run the demonstration by the, by. busy him so. busy will not force the government but you have an accumulation of things. busy it changes in the economy. you're pressured by the americans. you have the raleigh, the altogether. definitely that putting pressure on the government right. now. what do you think these reforms, if, if they come into force will, how effect do you think they'll have in the countries image? we know the answer blinking is already weighed in and he's been described by israel, p. m, as as a potential powder keg. m. what impact do you think it would have? the class? they are now with no change, which i find the are to believe. no, no doubt they are tearing apart the people. you see israel is completely split it
8:13 am
the reform by itself as it stands now, will not watch for a long time because of the fact that the steering thought the people it's already we see not only the running but people are saying that they're not going to share in the reserve you see before saying that they're going to save money from israel. so the pressure is accumulating reform as it is now. no doubt. busy without having a broader consensus on it, no that would would damage very, very. busy i would say very much the, the 5 her, the, the sickness, the united united of the united people. so definitely going to damage. but i don't see their reform as it is now. testing as it been, as has been shown. the question is what changing because we see it at the same
8:14 am
time there is an understanding that the reform has to be changed. busy from the way it is present that now we see that the, the decides are escalate. the pollution from one side is actually m b position from the other side. no doubt it escalating? so the question is, where and when they would find the, the, the right timing to, to negotiate on what should be the nature of their is the dish reform. given the fact that these reforms may change in theory, if they were implemented in their current form, will be the possible consequences for palestine and palestinians be it obviously give a boost to certain a segue, the israeli government and consequences for private palestinian landowners. i believe i think it will affect less the palestinians is going to affect much more the israelis, the independence of the or the judicial system of the supreme court is going to be
8:15 am
damaged. you have a bunch of. busy laws that would be extremely problematic for the minority within his rent. busy and standing in front of the court, i think that there is abroad in the standing industry reform. sudden reform is needed in the. busy system, the question is, how far should which with this reform and how fast you have to go with the, the reform. and i think, you know, does it if it does, it is now that's going to serve as far as the society. and that's going to damage the independence of vicious system as well. i'm afraid us or we have time for yankee diet, former israeli console in los angeles. thanks very much for sharing your thoughts today on this proposed judicial reforms in israel. and you're the or
