Crowds begin to gather on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street for 14th week in row of protests
Hundreds of people are beginning to gather on Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street for the 14th week in a row of protests against the government’s planned judicial overhaul.
Previous weeks have seen nearly 200,000 people participate in the rally in Tel Aviv.
Organisers said the protests would continue in cooperation with the police. They also sent their condolences to the families of the victims of yesterday's attacks in Tel Aviv and begin their demonstration with a minute's silence in memory of the victims, Euronews reports.
There have been three months of mass demonstrations against the reform promoted by Benjamin Netanyahu's government, which seeks to grant more power to the executive branch to the detriment of the judiciary.
Although Netanyahu recently announced a postponement of the legislative process with the aim of pushing through a reform agreed with the opposition in the coming months, the demonstrators have expressed their mistrust of the prime minister's real intentions and continue to protest week after week.
