Israeli military veterans, pivotal force in protest movement, pledge persistent demonstrations

Yiftach Golov, a veteran and member of the “Brother and Sisters in Arms” group, joined the thousands of protesters on Tel Aviv’s streets to fight for Israeli democracy. Golov, who served in the special forces, was compelled to take action when the protest movement against the government’s judicial overhaul plan began. Alongside other veterans and military reservists, Golov is determined to protect justice and liberty in Israel. Despite the government’s temporary pause on the legislation, protesters continue to rally for change. The pressure from veterans has played a significant role in moving the needle and pushing for negotiations. Golov and his fellow activists are committed to ensuring that Israel remains a functional democratic country.
