Hundreds of people show up to a protest in London’s Parliament Square against the Israeli government’s radical plan to overhaul the judiciary.

Holding signs in both Hebrew and English reading “A government of criminals will not appoint judges” and “Israelis for the future of Israel,” the protesters chant “democracy,” and some even show up in the “Handmaid’s Tale” costumes that have become a hallmark of the protests in Israel.
