Around 3,000 demonstrators march against the government’s judicial overhaul program, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement last night that he would pause the legislative process.
Protesters say they fear Netanyahu’s suspension of the legislative process is a ruse designed to stifle demonstrations before resuming the “legislative blitz” in the summer Knesset session.
The march departs the military headquarters in Tel Aviv at 4 p.m. before making its way to Independence Hall on Rothschild Boulevard.
Other smaller protests were held in other cities around the country.
