"The fact that we're now almost nine months into this fight. And from 225 laws, only one passed when they could have passed them all in one month. It's thanks to this amazing protest movement. There are hundreds of thousands who are marching in the streets in Israel for nine months now and also throughout the world. We're protesting in 71 cities. So I think this protest movement has amazing achievements."

Hundreds from the Israeli and American Jewish community gathered outside the Intercontinental New York Barclay hotel to protest as Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu met with President Joe Biden and other world leaders.
The protestors held Israeli flags and carried placards that read "Shame on Netanyahu" and "Israeli democracy will win". They demanded the Israeli government to put an end to what they labeled the "judicial coup" happening in the country.
The organizer and activist, Shany Granot-Lubaton said, "We're here because President Biden is meeting with Netanyahu. President Biden was a true ally of Israel from the very beginning, and we trust him to continue to do so, to stand up for democracy.
