11th week of Israeli protests against judicial overhaul sparks clashes and rising tensions.

Israelis have been protesting for 11 weeks against the hard-right government's plans to curb the Supreme Court's powers, which critics see as a threat to judicial independence. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned judicial overhaul has sparked concern at home and abroad, affecting the economy and extending to a threat by some military reservists not to heed call-up orders. Netanyahu, who returned to office for a sixth term in late December, has said the demonstrations are aimed at toppling him.
