Massive Protests Sweep Israel as Citizens Demand Halt to Judicial Overhaul

Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Jerusalem to block Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul, while over 100 former security chiefs signed a letter urging him to halt the legislation. The proposed overhaul, which aims to curb the powers of unelected judges, has drawn criticism from various sectors, including business and medical leaders. Military reservists have also threatened to stop reporting for duty if the plan passes. The parliament is expected to vote on the measure on Monday, which would be the first major piece of legislation to be approved. Protesters see the overhaul as a power grab by Netanyahu and his allies.
