Thousands of Israelis are protesting outside the country's parliament today, ahead of a preliminary vote on a bill that would give politicians greater power over the appointment of judges, this as part of a judicial overhaul proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Last night Israel's president appealed to Netanyahu to delay the plan, urging him instead to seek a compromise with his political opponents. FRANCE 24's Carys Garland has more.
Israeli lawmakers met on Monday to discuss contested government plans to give deputies more control of the judicial system, as tens of thousands rallied outside parliament against the proposals. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies in the government, the most right-wing in Israel's history, say the reforms are necessary to correct an imbalance that has given judges too much power over elected officials.
