Today, Sunday, the Constitution Committee of the Israeli parliament (the Knesset) continues to discuss the judicial amendments that the government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu intends to implement, despite the increasingly noisy protests in Tel Aviv.
Yesterday evening, Saturday, more than 225,000 people demonstrated across Israel, to protest against a project to reform the judicial system.
These demonstrations are being organized for the tenth week in a row, but their pace has increased dramatically over the past few days, as they have witnessed the closure of a number of main streets, some of which lead to Ben Gurion Airport.
For its part, the Israeli Channel 12 said that the demonstrations that took place yesterday were "the largest" since their inception.
Coinciding with the increasing pace of demonstrations, Israeli President Isaac Herzog called on Netanyahu, Thursday, to cancel the judicial amendments, describing the matter as a "threat to the foundations of democracy."
The escalating protests also disrupted the schedule of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's visit to Israel last week.
This "reform" would greatly limit the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning laws, and would give the ruling coalition the power to appoint judges.
The demonstrators in Israel fear that the new government will overthrow the judicial system and seek to end Israel as a "democratic state," according to their opinion.
The government says the "reforms" are designed to end the Supreme Court's interference in politics.
And international, Arab and Israeli media described the current Netanyahu government - which was sworn in on December 29 last year - as "the most right-wing in the history of Israel."
