Massive March in Israel Demands Halt to Judicial Overhaul

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis marched in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and other cities to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul. More than 100 former security chiefs signed a letter urging Netanyahu to halt the legislation, while thousands of military reservists announced they would no longer report for duty in protest. The proposed overhaul, which aims to curb the powers of unelected judges, has drawn criticism for potentially undermining checks and balances and leading to authoritarian rule. Business and medical leaders have also voiced opposition, and U.S. President Joe Biden has called on Netanyahu to seek consensus. The parliament is expected to vote on the measure on Monday.
