"Protesters Rally Outside Jerusalem, Preparing for Final March to Knesset"

Thousands of Israelis participating in a mass demonstration against the government's judicial overhaul paused their march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to regroup and welcome Shabbat. The march, which has become the signature event of the protest movement, will culminate outside the Knesset, where organizers plan to set up tents and stay indefinitely. The legislation, expected to pass early next week, would ban courts from striking down governmental decisions based on their "reasonableness." Protesters are calling for a pause in the initiative, with hopes that Defense Minister Yoav Gallant will intervene.
