Protests against the Israeli government's proposed judicial overhaul continued in Tel Aviv on Saturday, with demonstrators accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being an "enemy of democracy". The rallies have been taking place since January, with protesters opposing plans to weaken the Supreme Court and give politicians greater influence in the selection of judges. In March, a brief general strike led to the government halting the legislation, but Netanyahu has since vowed to restart the reform package. The prime minister returned to power in December at the head of a coalition with ultra-Orthodox Jewish and extreme-right parties.
