Massive Protests Erupt Over Government's Overhaul Plan

Hundreds of thousands of people protested throughout Israel against the government's judicial overhaul plans, demanding that the coalition shelve the bills completely. Protesters are highly distrustful of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's overtures, and some coalition members have vowed to pick up right where they left off. The protest movement has grown resilient and will not be easily appeased. Protest leaders have urged the need to continue protesting, implying they were fearful of a significant drop in attendance as the coalition put its plans on the back burner.
