Thousands of public health workers arrive at Jerusalem’s International Convention Center, after a march from the entrance of the city against the coalition’s judicial overhaul.
The main floor of the more than 3,000-seat auditorium has been filled, while the balcony is about half full.
Prof. Hagai Levine, a leader of the White Coats – Healthcare Professionals for Democracy and head of the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians, leads chanting in the hall.
Speeches have been delayed as busloads of doctors come from all over the country.
