Israelis rally against Netanyahu government's judicial reform plans
Just weeks into the job, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's new coalition is facing a backlash over plans to overhaul the judiciary, with tens of thousands joining rallies over the past two weekends.

They're also concerned that the measures will set back minority rights.
