Protesters are gathering at a variety of locations around the country as they continue a protest “Day of Equality” against the government’s judicial overhaul plans.
Both pro-overhaul and anti-overhaul protesters are outside the home of former Supreme Court justice Aharon Barak in Tel Aviv. A group of Moroccan Jews are among those protesting outside the justice’s home in response to his past comments about “not being able to find” a suitable Moroccan or Mizrahi candidate to serve as a justice on the High Court.
