An estimated 10,000 people gathered outside the main hall, blowing horns and waving blue and white Israeli flags. Mass protests have taken place since Netanyahu’s far-right government presented the overhaul plan in January, days after taking office. Netanyahu’s allies have proposed a series of changes to the Israeli legal system aimed at weakening what they say are the excessive powers of unelected judges. The proposed changes include giving Netanyahu’s allies control over the appointment of judges and giving parliament power to overturn court decisions. They also say Netanyahu has a conflict of interest because he is on trial for charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes.
