"Netanyahu's Judicial Plan Sparks Massive Protests in Israel"

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities to demonstrate against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the judiciary. The proposed bill, which has received initial approval, would reduce the judiciary's power to strike down government decisions and give the government more influence in appointing judges. Protesters fear that the reforms would undermine democracy and strip away rights, particularly for women. Opposition to the plan remains strong, with various groups, including the national labour union and medical association, speaking out against it. The protests continue despite Netanyahu's hospitalization for dehydration.
