22nd week of protests against judicial reform plan draws large crowds in Israel.

Anti-government protests against the overhaul of Israel's justice system saw a slight increase in turnout over the weekend, with renewed anger at police over a forceful crackdown on a Friday night protest near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea. Between 95,000 and 140,000 people attended the main rally on Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, alongside thousands of others in some 150 locations around the country, kicking off the 22nd week of regular protests against the now-paused government plan. The centerpiece of the overhaul is legislation that would give governing coalitions complete control over the overwhelming majority of judicial appointments, by giving the coalition an in-built majority on the Judicial Selection Committee.
