July 25, 2023 11:23Several Israeli newspapers went to print on Tuesday with blacked-out front pages, in a furore over the Israeli government's planned overhaul to the judicial system.
"A Black Day for Israeli Democracy," said the ad on the front of major newspapers placed by a group describing itself as worried hi-tech workers.
The plain black pages, which appeared in Yediot Aharonot, Calcalist, Israel Hayom and Haaretz, were paid for by the Hi-Tech Protest movement.
The Hi-Tech Protest movement is a group comprising of representatives and employees from hi-tech companies.
