Masses of protesters against the judicial overhaul have begun marching through Jerusalem to the Knesset, where they will rally this evening as lawmakers deliberate the “reasonableness” bill before the expected final votes.

Among those marching are demonstrators who slept overnight at nearby Gan Sacher, a large public park where they’ve set up a “tent city.”
