Lawmakers in Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Likud party request additional security because of protests against the government’s judicial overhaul.
The MKs say they have trouble getting to public events because protesters are in the way.
They make the request during a closed portion of the party’s weekly meeting.
“We can’t move around freely. The protests have become over the top,” one MK said, according to Ynet.
Netanyahu promises the party members he will look into the issue.
