2RDXDT3 London, UK. 23rd July, 2023. An estimated 1500 British Israelis protested ahead of the judicial reform vote in the Knesset on Monday, that seeks to limit the powers of the country's Supreme Court. Benjamin Netanyahu's government argues that the changes are needed in order to readdress the balance of power, whereas critics say it will weaken the judiciary and undermine democracy. The protest in London crossed Tower Bridge in solidarity with the tens of thousands marching from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem objecting to the bill. Credit: Eleventh Hour Photography/Alamy Live News

Back lit image of the silhouette of a woman with her hands pressed against a glass window. The silhouette is distorted, and the arms elongated, giving an alien-like quality. The image is sinister and foreboding, with an element of horror. It is as if the 'woman' is trying to escape from behind the glass.
