"We are watching, but with anxiety, of course. The main thing is that there should be no problems for our citizens who are there," he said.
Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog earlier appealed to the government to stop the process of adopting judicial reform in the country amid protests. He noted that due to the discontent of the protesters, security, the economy and society were under threat.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also called on representatives of the current government to postpone judicial reform and move on to negotiations.
As TASS explains, according to the opposition, the reform involves limiting the powers of the Supreme Court and giving the executive branch control over the selection of judges. Opponents of the government believe that this could undermine the democratic foundations of Israeli statehood.
At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that the reform will balance the powers of all branches of government and make the country's political system more democratic.
