Crowds gather for 15th week of protests against judicial overhaul
Crowds are beginning to gather at around 150 locations across the country in the 15th week of protests against the government’s plans to overhaul the judiciary.
The main protest is taking place on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street. Previous weeks have seen nearly 200,000 people participate in the rally in Tel Aviv.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been holding huge protests in Tel Aviv and nationwide against the government’s judicial overhaul plans every Saturday for the last 15 weeks, with demonstrations carrying on after the coalition paused the legislation to allow a period of dialogue on its highly divisive efforts to weaken the justice system.
