Israel's Political Divide Deepens as Protests Continue.

Anti-government protesters in Israel are set to hold demonstrations for the 17th consecutive week in response to a mass rally by supporters of the government's judicial overhaul plan. The protest leaders slammed the "severe incitement" on display at the pro-overhaul rally, which included posters of Supreme Court judges being trampled on. The judicial overhaul has been put on hold while the government holds negotiations with the opposition, and the Knesset's summer session begins next week. Polls have consistently shown that the legislation is broadly unpopular in its current form, and that support for the government has dropped since the election.
