"Netanyahu's Impatience Grows as Israeli Protests Reignite"

TL;DR
Tens of thousands of Israeli protesters have taken to the streets to demonstrate against proposed changes to the country's judicial system, which they believe would lead to a more authoritarian government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government argues that the changes are necessary for a better balance of power, but critics say they would give politicians more control over the courts. The protests, which have been ongoing since January, have intensified ahead of a parliamentary vote on a key provision of the proposed overhaul. The government's push to control the judiciary has raised concerns about Israel's democratic health and has negatively impacted the economy.
