Protests against Israel's proposed judicial reform block Tel Aviv's main airport and disrupt President Netanyahu's official trip to Italy
Tens of thousands of Israeli rally against the government's judicial reform programme across the country, like here in Tel Aviv, where clashes between protesters and police led to at least 10 arrests. Right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to restore unity. Demonstrators fear the proposed reforms are a threat to Israeli democracy.

Plans for a controversial justice reform in Israel have been put on hold -- at least for now. That brings a tentative break to one of the biggest internal crises in Israeli history. After months of protests that brought hundreds of thouands to the streets -- AND criticism from within his own party, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finally suspended his judicial overhaul -- at least until Parliament returns next month. FRANCE 24's Jerusalem correspondent Irris Makler explains.
