Hundreds of activists took to the streets in protest after the controversial legal reform bill proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government passed its first reading in Israel’s parliament. The bill would remove the Supreme Court’s ability to rule on the “reasonability” of government policies, leading many to fear for the future of democracy in the country. Protesters entered the Knesset building and blocked several roads across the country during a “day of disruption” called by activists. Despite the mass protests, the bill was ultimately approved by parliament, sparking further outrage among those who see it as an attack on democracy.
