Protests against the government's proposal to reform the judiciary have gained more momentum in Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Sunday to advance the government's controversial judicial reforms, which have seen his premiership marred by mass protest against the proposed overhaul. The reform package unveiled in January has been waylaid in recent months by demonstrators who have gathered weekly in their tens of thousands.
Protest organizers aim to maintain momentum and increase pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government until the proposed changes are scrapped.
