Mass demonstrations and civil disobedience actions have continued across Israel against the controversial judicial reform plan and right-wing policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Thousands of Israelis joined for the 18th week several rallies across Israel to protest controversial government plans to change the judicial system.
Demonstrators gathered at the protests in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Kfar Saba, and Netanya. They held pro-democracy banners criticizing the far-right politicians in the coalition government.
Israeli police detained five people for “attempting to enter the Ayalon Highway and block traffic,” according to Daily Times of Israel.
Protests were also held across the country in front of the homes of ministers and lawmakers from coalition partners.
