Israeli reserve doctors suspend military services to protest Netanyahu’s policies

Hundreds of Israeli reserve doctors have reportedly suspended their military services in the regime’s occupation army to protest radical policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's extremist cabinet.

The London-based Rai al-Youm newspaper said the Israeli doctors, including physicians and psychiatrists, penned a letter to Israel’s Military Medicine Club and called for informing the military leadership on their action against Netanyahu’s highly unpopular scheme to overhaul the regime's judicial system.

In an urgent message, the Military Medicine Club called on the Israeli premier’s far-right coalition cabinet to stop the judicial reform plan before it is too late.

More than a thousand doctors had a day earlier sent a letter to the Israel Medical Association, calling for the declaration of a strike until the "complete trashing of the overhaul."

Hundreds of medical students also issued a plea that called for a strike over the widely-bashed reform plan.

Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets across the occupied territories for the 28th straight week on Saturday against the policies of the regime's extremist cabinet. The protesters also demonstrated outside the residence of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in the city of al-Quds.
