Judicial protests erupt anew in Tel Aviv

TEL AVIV: Thousands of Israelis again took to the streets of Tel Aviv late Saturday (Sunday in Manila) to protest government judicial reforms they view as an attack on democracy.

The 15th consecutive week of protest came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on March 27 announced a 'pause' to allow for dialogue on the reforms which were moving through parliament and split the nation.
