'Day of paralysis' in Israel, as Knesset adopts anti-impeachment law
Organizers of the anti-judicial overhaul plan are expecting half a million demonstrators today across Israel, rallying, blocking roads and marching through cities.
Protesters across Israel have been blocking roads and rallying outside homes of Cabinet ministers since early Thursday, in what organizers of the anti-judicial overhaul movement have declared “a day of paralysis.”
The demonstrations are taking place as the government accelerates the process to adopt the controversial judicial overhaul package before the end of the current Knesset session on April 2. The bills would see Israel's court system undermined in favor of the political elite.
