National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says he is heading to the police command center in Tel Aviv as tens of thousands rally in the coastal city, in a weekly protest against the government judicial overhaul.

A statement from Ben Gvir’s office says he will hold an assessment with police chief Kobi Shabtai.

Ben Gvir has told police to crack down further on anti-government demonstrators, after mass protests on Wednesday saw the use of stun grenades and mounted officers against the anti-government protests for the first time.
