Protesters opposed to the judicial overhaul are set to hold a rally at Israel’s New York consulate.
The event starting at 5 p.m. local time will mark the Tisha B’Av fast day with prayers, as well as expressions in support of Israeli democracy, organizers say.
The rally is backed by the Israeli expat activist network UnXeptable, and a number of US Jewish organizations, including New York synagogues and progressive groups, some of which appear to be formally protesting the judicial overhaul for the first time.
