Tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated Saturday against the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, who is planning a controversial judicial restructuring in the country.
Protests continue, for the sixth week in a row, against the Israeli government, and the plan of Minister of Justice Yariv Levin, aimed at weakening the judiciary and undermining the Supreme Court, according to the Palestinian News Agency, Wafa.
The Israeli police closed many streets, coinciding with the start of the protest demonstrations against the Netanyahu government.
The demonstrators also demanded Netanyahu's resignation because of his prosecution in corruption cases.
The coalition government, which includes parties from the right, the far-right, and ultra-Orthodox formations, confirms that the judicial reforms aim to 'correct a state of imbalance,' but Supreme Court Chief Justice Esther Hayut considers it a 'frenzied attack' on the judiciary.
