Veteran ex-lawmaker Tzipi Livni takes the stage to address anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv.

Livni charges that Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government is fighting against the courts, so they can govern without limit. She vows that opponents of the government will not stand down.

“In Israel, nobody will be above the law, not even the prime minister,” she says.

“Together we will protect the state, because it is for all of us.”

Addressing lawmakers advancing a controversial judicial overhaul, she says “history will not forget.”
