Following the adoption on Monday by the Knesset of the "reasonableness clause" canceling the Supreme Court’s oversight of the government’s decisions, Israel’s main newspapers on Tuesday morning published blacked-out front pages in a coordinated campaign by the protest movement.

Other pages featured all-page advertisements announcing "the death of Israel’s democracy" or "the end of Israel’s democracy."

The all-black pages included in small white letters at the bottom the inscription "a black day for Israeli democracy."
