Jonthan Rynhold, Head of Dept of Political Studies, Bar-Ilan University.

Rynhold speaks about the "unprecedented pressure" of mass demonstrations against the Israeli government's plans to "reform" the judiciary. He says ties with US and Western European allies that democracy in Israel - central to underlying support - could be "severely damaged" because of threat to independence of the judiciary and individual and minority rights.

US defence secretary Lloyd Austin, who is on a regional tour, landed at Ben Gurion Airport where hundreds of protesters gathered on Thursday. He was greeted on the tarmac by Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant, and was due to have a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
