Israelis rally in Jerusalem to support far-right government's judiciary reform plans
Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied in Jerusalem to show support for the controversial plans by the far-right government to reform the judiciary. The demonstration marked the biggest protest in support of the government's plans yet, including proposals to curb the Supreme Court and give the government control over the appointment of judges.
The protest was met with heavy opposition as Israelis have been deeply split over the proposals, with huge weekly protests against them over the past four months and even a nationwide strike last month. While the supporters argue that the reform would restore balance in the branches of government, the critics say that it would remove checks on those in power and weaken the independence of the courts.
What are the key proposals in the far-right government's plan to reform the judiciary, and why are Israelis split over them?
