News - Middle East: Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman has reacted to the ongoing political crisis in Israel, saying the crisis is consuming the occupying regime like a wildfire.

Nasser Kan'ani made the remark in a Monday tweet after tens of thousands of Israelis poured into the streets across the occupied territories for the third consecutive day this week in protest at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposed judicial reforms.

Monday protests came after Netanyahu fired the regime's minister for military affairs, Yoav Gallant, over his criticism of the controversial plan.

Netanyahu’s proposed reforms seek to rob the Israeli Supreme Court of the power to overrule decisions made by the regime's new extremist cabinet and the Knesset.
