Netanyahu to Travel to London Next Weekend; Protestors Set to Disturb

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is to fly to London next weekend. He is expected to fly on Thursday and return to Israel on Motzoei Shabbos.

Netanyahu’s trip to the United Kingdom follows similar trips to Berlin and Rome, where he met with his European counterparts amid nationwide protests against his government’s judicial reform and escalating violence between Israelis and Palestinians.

The protests against the judicial reforms have attempted to block Netanyahu in previous weeks from reaching Ben Gurion Airport, in an attempt to disrupt the Prime Minister’s departures abroad.

Protestors had blocked main highways leading to the airport, which led Netanyahu to use a helicopter to arrive for his flight at the international airport. They are also planning to try to disturb his trip this coming Thursday.
