Tens of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul plan, which would limit the Supreme Court's powers. Critics view the legislation as a threat to Israel's democracy. The protests come ahead of a parliamentary vote on Monday, with demonstrators urging the government to preserve democracy and maintain checks and balances. The proposed overhaul has drawn criticism from various sectors, including business leaders, medical professionals, and former security chiefs. President Joe Biden has also urged Netanyahu to seek a broad consensus and halt the plan.
