Last-ditch efforts to reach a compromise on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul plan dragged late into the night on Sunday as tens of thousands of protesters rallying for and against the proposal took to the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Israel’s President Isaac Herzog called the situation an “emergency” as he met Netanyahu and opposition leaders, while the United States urged the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, not to rush the “divisive” changes.
