Police officials estimate that some 15,000 people have gathered at Tel Aviv’s Habima Square for protests against Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

Organizers say they expect tens of thousands to participate in the rallies in the coming hours.

The demonstrations mark the second week that opponents of Netanyahu’s government will take to the streets, protesting Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s proposals to shake up the judiciary by severely curbing the High Court of Justice’s judicial review powers and cementing political control over the appointment of judges.
