Protests in Israel over judicial changes and Palestinian crime deaths.

Tens of thousands of Israelis have protested against controversial judicial reforms proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and the rising crime wave affecting Palestinian citizens of Israel. The mass demonstrations, which began in January, have gained momentum and seen large turnouts. Protesters have said they will not give up until the government cancels the proposed legal changes rather than delaying them. Critics say the bill poses a direct threat to civil rights and warn it will grant the government unrestrained power as well as upend the country's system of checks and balances.
