Israelis hit the streets again to protest judicial reform
Israeli police on Thursday fired water cannon at protesters blocking a highway in Tel Aviv, an AFP journalist said, as demonstrators across the country rallied against the government's judicial reform programme.
Tens of thousands of Israelis protested in Tel Aviv and other cities, according to crowd estimates by Israeli media, decrying what they view as a threat to the country's democracy.
Demonstrator Nadav Golander warned of a "dictatorship" if the government presses forward with its controversial programme that would give politicians more power over the courts.
"The people understand... that they will not stop," said Golander, 37.
