About 4,000 protesters against the government’s judicial overhaul are gathered outside the Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly at Expo Tel Aviv.

The demonstration was originally called to protest the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the event, which is scheduled to start shortly.

While Netanyahu earlier today canceled his participation, apparently fearing it would be disrupted by the protesters, the rally was not called off.
