Tel Aviv, Israel: Flag-waving Israelis gathered in a massive protest for the eighth straight week on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) to press their opposition to government legal reforms critics see as a threat to democracy.

Israeli media reported the crowds were again in the tens of thousands, after lawmakers this week took a step towards approving the reforms which are a cornerstone of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest administration, which took office in December.
