TL;DR Summary

Thousands of protesters gathered in Jerusalem to oppose the right-wing government's proposed judicial reforms, which would limit the Supreme Court's power to overrule government decisions. Critics argue that the reforms could lead to greater government overreach. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who recently underwent an emergency heart procedure, plans to move forward with the reforms despite the opposition. The protests have been ongoing for seven months, with intense demonstrations occurring in March when Netanyahu fired his defense minister for opposing the reforms. The U.S. has also expressed concerns and urged Netanyahu to seek consensus on the issue. The reforms are set to be voted on in the Israeli parliament on Monday.
