mother said look, my first daughter just finished her military service. the second one about to go to military service. one of the things that we ve been talking about so much is the unity. one of the biggest is the israeli military. we have already heard from ha das just now about the reservists already saying that they plan to refuse to serve if these laws do go through and are enacted. they have faced some criticism from the leaders of the military and also from the leaders of the government parties here as well, but certainly this is something that really goes to the core of the unity of this country and, of course, also of the democracy of this country as well. i think one woman i spoke to put it best and said look, a lot of people coming out here, they re not sure whether or not they can make a difference or whether or not the law can be revoked or repealed, but doing nothing, they say, is not an option. dana? that s right. when you are for context, of course, when you are 18 y
we ve seen legal challenges filed against it. they re seeking an injunction for the supreme court to try to seek an emergency injunction to an interesting legal battle. we ve also seen the stock market taking a hit. thousands of israeli military reservists say they will not serve if this legislation passes. these are people, these are fighter jet pilots, people who would be on the front lines of a major conflict. big question will be whether they will face their own legal issues for not serving and what this will mean for israeli military preparedness. their are talks of a labor strike taking place tomorrow, but for now, for here, right now, these protesters say they will stay on the streets and we re seeing clashes with israeli police who have started to use water cannons and skunk water and i can tell you whatever they ve sprayed the smell has been terrible, but it s not keeping these protesters from staying on the streets. hadas, thank you for that important reporting. i want to g
pleitgen who is in the middle of the protests. what s happening where you are? reporter: hi there, dana. there s a huge crowd that came out. i m going to get out of your way and pan around a little bit and see the amount of people that have come out here. one of the main stages here. a lot of people with israeli flags. i think one of the things that s key to us is the different sort of spheres of israeli society protesting. a lot of people with lbgt flags coming out here, minority rights are going to be a big question if this overhaul happens in the way the current government wants it to happen. that s one of the things that a lot of people are protesting against. they feel minority rights are going to be an issue if this does go through, the way the government wants it to go through, but then also, this is really something that caught our attention, you have different generations of people protesting together. in fact, we ve been out here in the crowd a little bit and spoke to one f
deign to suggest that trump was maybe not the most viable candidate to go up against joe biden, and in the conversation talked about votes to expunge his impeachments. i spoke to nancy pelosi about this. kevin is playing politics. it s not even clear if he has the ability to expunge those things. that s a decision he has to make, but this is not responsible. donald trump is the puppeteer, and what does he do all the time, but shine a light on the strings. these people look pathetic. yeah, nancy pelosi doing nancy pelosi s things as only she can. the republicans have always had a candidate quality problem. there s a constant push-and-pull
the hallways. what do you think that this is going to do, what impact it s going to have? a lot of members are in safe districts so it s not going to have much of an impact. the republican leadership stays out of republican and republican primaries on the house side so it may not have that much of an impact. it s a shot across the bow against kevin mccarthy to show they re trying to put money in to encourage some of these dissidents within the conference of folks who opposed let s put up on the screen the people we re talking about yeah. look a handful of those could have difficult general ection races, scott perry, ana po lena luna and lauren boebert who narrowly escaped her re-election bid last year. those are the three targets already. that could potentially help them, but presumably mccarthy will be support them because he needs every vote he can to get the speakership. this is an effort to say we re standing behind the guys and the
