Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets Saturday night to protest the newly sworn-in Netanyahu government’s plan to overhaul the country’s judicial system

The proposed changes include giving the ruling coalition more say in which judges are appointed, limiting the top court’s ability to strike down laws and allowing a simple majority of lawmakers to override the Supreme Court should it strike down legislation.
