Protesters aim to block Netanyahu’s Italy trip as he looks for escape route
![]()
Israeli regime's embattled premier Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly planning to take a helicopter from the occupied al-Quds to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Thursday to catch a flight to Italy as he looks for an escape route from anti-regime protests.
Israel's public broadcaster Kan said anti-Netanyahu demonstrators are seeking to block the roads in Tel Aviv and prevent 100 flights from leaving the occupied territories as a mark of protest against Netanyahu's controversial plans to "reform" the judiciary.
Organizers of the protest movement are reported to be preparing for a “day of resistance to the dictatorship” on March 9, a week after a “day of disruption” that saw massive rallies across Israel, roadblocks by demonstrators and heavy-handed police response in Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu has postponed meetings planned for Thursday to Friday, anticipating trouble in flying out of Israel, according to reports by the Israeli Channel 13.
Netanyahu's trip to meet his Italian counterpart, which is one of the first international visits since retaking office in December, comes amid intense division and opposition to his far-right cabinet’s policies.
Last week, Netanyahu's travel plans faced complications when the Israel airliner El Al was unable to find pilots to fly him, his wife and his extended delegation to Italy as a result of opposition to his cabinet’s judicial reform schemes.

Bear in mind that Netanyahu is trying to undermine the powers of the supreme court in order to keep himself out of jail as a fraudster. Destroying Israel's democratic rights platform, such as it is, is just, to him, collateral damage.
