Opponents of the judicial overhaul rally outside Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s home in Amikam, urging him to call to halt the “reasonableness” bill that the coalition is on track to pass into law in the coming days.

Television reports last night said Gallant was working to push off next week’s vote due to growing protests and opposition in the military, with over 1,000 air force reservists announcing yesterday they will suspend their volunteer service to protest the judicial overhaul.
