Roads blocked at dozens of locations across country by protesters
Roads are now blocked at dozens of locations nationwide by protesters against the Netanyahu government’s plan to dramatically weaken the judiciary.
Hundreds of thousands are expected to protest nationwide over the course of the day as the coalition advances legislation to curtail judicial oversight on its decisions.
Netanyahu says the bill will be passed by the Knesset next week.
