Police are shutting roads at central locations across the country to prepare for this evening’s mass protests against the government.
In Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, several main roads will be shut for the evening to accomodate the tens of thousands protesters expected to turn out in the next few hours.
Mass protests have been occurring weekly against 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, with the central protest taking place in Tel Aviv.
