Thousands of demonstrators take to the streets of Tel Aviv for the 13th consecutive week, some blocking one of the major highways in the coastal city, to protest against Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to overhaul the justice system, even after the prime minister paused the process for a month. Critics say the proposed reforms, which would limit the power of the supreme court, threaten Israel's democracy.
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.
