Thousands rally for fifth week against Israeli govt reform plan

Tel Aviv, Israel: Thousands of Israelis demonstrated in central Tel Aviv Saturday (Sunday in Manila) for the fifth consecutive week against controversial legal reforms touted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government.

Crowds carrying blue and white Israeli flags braved the rain, swarming the city's central Kaplan Street, with signs labelling the new government a 'threat to world peace'.
