Israeli Protests Against Judicial Overhaul Amid Violence and Tensions

Thousands of Israelis gathered for a weekly demonstration against the government's judicial overhaul plans despite security concerns stemming from a surge in Israeli-Palestinian violence. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put his overhaul on hold after mass protests against the plan, which has brought together large swaths of Israeli society in opposition to a series of bills that aim to weaken the country's Supreme Court. The plan would give Netanyahu and his allies the final say in appointing the nation's judges and limit the court's ability to review laws.
