According to reports, hundreds of Israeli reserve doctors have reportedly ceased serving in the occupation army of the regime in protest of the radical policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s extremist cabinet.
Israeli doctors, including doctors and psychiatrists, reportedly wrote a letter to Israel’s Military Medicine Club calling for informing the military leadership about their action against Netanyahu’s wildly unpopular plan to reform the regime’s judicial system, according to the London-based Rai al-Youm newspaper.
The far-right coalition cabinet of the Israeli prime minister was urgently urged by the Military Medicine Club to halt the proposed judicial reform legislation before it was too late.

A day earlier, more than a thousand doctors had written to the Israel Medical Association requesting that a strike be called until the “complete trashing of the overhaul.”
A strike in protest of the roundly derided reform proposal was also called for by hundreds of medical students.
On Saturday, tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated against the extremist cabinet’s policies in the occupied territories for the 28th consecutive week. The protesters also held a demonstration in front of Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s home in al-Quds.
The goal of the so-called “judicial overhaul” plan is to deny the Israeli Supreme Court the ability to overturn political decisions made by the ruling party. Additionally, it aims to increase the Israeli cabinet’s influence over the court’s judge-selection procedure.
Supporters claim the proposal will put an end to decades of judicial overreach, while detractors claim it will eliminate crucial restraints on the political class’s ability to exercise power.
Furthermore, critics claim that Netanyahu, who is facing multiple corruption-related charges, is attempting to use the scheme to overturn any verdicts that might be rendered against him.
Up until the cabinet decides to abandon the overhaul plan, protesters have vowed to continue holding enormous rallies.
