Massive Protests in Israel Against Netanyahu's Judicial Reforms

Tens of thousands of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv and other cities against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul, which would curtail the authority of the Supreme Court and give politicians greater powers over the selection of judges. Netanyahu's government argues that the changes are needed to rebalance powers between lawmakers and the judiciary, but opponents believe it could lead to a more authoritarian government. The protests continue despite Netanyahu's announcement in March that the legal proposals were put on hold.
