Tel Aviv, Israel – Thousands of protesters have rallied at several locations across Israel, including its main airport, to try to stop the passage of the far-right government’s “judicial reforms” bill.
Tuesday’s “day of disruption” blocked highways. Protesters rallied at Ben Gurion International airport and the United States mission in Tel Aviv, a day after the Israeli parliament passed the first of three votes on the bill. At least 70 protesters were arrested, and water cannon were used against some protesters in West Jerusalem.
