Widespread protests are taking place against proposed reforms to the justice system and a wave of Israeli raids has claimed the lives of dozens of Palestinians.
In the early weeks of Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition government, Israel has been gripped by a political crisis.
A wave of Israeli military incursions has resulted in many Palestinians being killed and injured, and Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian communities under Israeli military surveillance.
All this while widespread protests over planned judicial reforms have swept the country – and are growing in intensity.
How responsible is Israel’s new government for this violence and unrest?
And how will it all end?
