Israelis Protest Against Judicial Reform in Tel Aviv

In late March, the Israeli prime minister announced the suspension of the legislative process on judicial reform in order to negotiate and reach a compromise with its opponents. The decision came against the backdrop of major nationwide protests against the reform.

Sputnik is live from Tel Aviv as protesters rally across the country for the 26th consecutive week against the government’s plan to reform the judicial system.
Last week, during the weekly cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the opposition hadn't been negotiating in good faith and that his government would move ahead cautiously with the overhaul.
Demonstrators continue to take to the streets, fearing that the reform will undermine democracy in Israel and bring the country to the brink of a social and constitutional crisis.
