Thousands protest in Israel despite judicial overhaul pause

Aljazeera reported that thousands of Israelis have protested in Tel Aviv for the 13th straight week against a controversial judcial overhaul that has now been suspended by the government while talks are held with party representatives.

Carrying Israeli flags on Saturday, people marched through the centre of Israel’s commercial hub, chanting “democracy” and carrying placards condemning the hard-right government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
