Police deploy water cannons in Jerusalem to clear protesters blocking roads leading to the Knesset, where lawmakers are deliberating the coalition’s contentious “reasonableness” bill ahead of the final votes.

Police warn of further road closures around the Knesset and surrounding area during the day.

Elsewhere in the capital, officers arrested three protesters for blocking the entrance to Economy Minister Nir Barkat’s home.
