Police have put up barricades on Jerusalem’s Azza Street, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has an apartment, in apparent anticipation of a potential protest by judicial shakeup opponents.

Organizers of the anti-overhaul demonstrations have called for Israelis to rally in Tel Aviv if opposition candidate Karine Elharrar isn’t elected to the Judicial Selection Committee in today’s Knesset vote.
