Tel Aviv, Israel: Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv Saturday (Sunday in Manila) against a controversial judicial overhaul by the hard-right government, ahead of a key week expected to see more legislative steps and mass protests.

The latest demonstration to hit Israel's commercial hub came days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to press on with the changes despite mounting international alarm.
