Protests Erupt in Israel Following Removal of Tel Aviv Police Chief

Protests erupted across Israel after the resignation of Tel Aviv's police chief, Ami Eshed, who claimed he was pushed out of the force for political reasons. Demonstrators blocked highways, clashed with police, and marched towards government buildings in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. At least 25 people were arrested in various locations, and the protests were sparked by concerns over government meddling and the advancement of controversial judicial overhaul laws. Eshed stated that he chose to prevent a civil war and will be leaving the police force after an orderly transition of power.
