Tens of thousands of Israeli protesters gathered in Tel Aviv and other cities to demonstrate against proposed legal reforms that they believe would lead to a more authoritarian government. The protests have been ongoing since January, with the latest rally estimating a turnout of 150,000 people. The proposed reforms would give politicians more power over the courts, with a key provision of the overhaul set to be voted on in parliament on Monday. The government argues that the reforms are necessary to achieve a better balance of power, while protesters fear the erosion of judicial independence.
