The Times of Israel reported on Sunday that "the United States of America partially funded the protests" against the judicial amendments in Israel.
The newspaper quoted a source close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that US President Joe Biden's administration "partially funded the protests" that are escalating in Tel Aviv over the judicial amendments that the government intends to implement.
The source added to the Israeli newspaper that "these protests are organized and funded by millions of dollars," noting that the Israeli government is following up on what is happening.
The source also asked who "finances the transportation of protesters and the printing of flags and platforms?", stressing to the newspaper, "This is clear to us."
On the other hand, the newspaper pointed out that this senior government official - who was among the delegation accompanying the Israeli Prime Minister in Rome - did not provide evidence for his claim.
While another member of the delegation accompanying the Prime Minister indicated that this senior official meant the United States of America in his statements.
The newspaper also mentioned that Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister's son, recently published an article accusing the US State Department of "funding one of the groups that participate in the protests."
Yesterday evening, Saturday, more than 225,000 people demonstrated across Israel, to protest against a project to reform the judicial system.
These demonstrations are being organized for the tenth week in a row, but their pace has increased dramatically over the past few days, as they have witnessed the closure of a number of main streets, some of which lead to Ben Gurion Airport.
The demonstrators in Israel fear that the new government will overthrow the judicial system and seek to end Israel as a "democratic state," according to their opinion.
The government says the "reforms" are designed to end the Supreme Court's interference in politics.
And international, Arab and Israeli media described the current Netanyahu government - which was sworn in last December 29 - as "the most right-wing in the history of Israel."
