Jerusalem: Thousands of people took to the streets on Saturday (January 21) night in Tel Aviv to protest the PM Benjamin Netanyahu-led government's plan to change the judicial system in Israel. Opponents allege that the Netanyahu government's plan to reform the judicial system has put the country's basic democratic principles at risk.

Israeli media has quoted the police as saying that about one lakh people demonstrated against the Netanyahu government in Tel Aviv. According to the information, Netanyahu has resolved to bring changes in the judicial system even after protests. The current government formed under the leadership of Netanyahu is being described as the most conservative and nationalist government in the history of Israel. Tel Aviv also witnessed mass demonstrations last week against government plans to reform the judicial system. Netanyahu has expressed his commitment to move forward on the plan to change the judicial system even after protests.

His government says the power imbalance has made judges and government legal advisers extremely dominant in lawmaking and governance. Demonstrators in Tel Aviv held placards and posters that read, "Our children will not live in the shadow of a dictatorship and Israel, we have a problem."
