Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleProtesters continue to stream down toward the Ayalon Highway, with the road blocked in both directions.
Commentators note that while numbers are (at least so far) smaller, the scenes are somewhat reminiscent — certainly in their spontaneity — to the massive bonfire rallies at the same location in March, on the evening that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to fire his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant after he raised the alarm regarding the judicial overhaul.
Netanyahu froze the overhaul plan the next day, and eventually reneged on dismissing Gallant.
