Tens of thousands of Israelis pour into the streets in Tel Aviv and across Israel to protest against the government’s plans to radically overhaul the judicial system — for the eighth week running.
Opposition politicians turn out at many of the protests, and major thoroughfares are shut down by police to enable the rallies.
The protesters hold Israeli flags, flares and posters with different messages including: “No Constitution, No Democracy,” “They Shall Not Pass” and “We Shall Override.”
Channel 12 news estimates there are about 100,000 protesters in Tel Aviv, 30,000 in Haifa and thousands of others at sites across the country.
