| Description | Thousands of Israelis took to the streets on Sunday in protest after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed his defense minister who had urged the government to halt a highly contested plan to overhaul the judicial system.
Reuters TV footage showed huge crowds blocking Tel Aviv's main highway as well as a group of protesters lighting a bonfire in the middle of the highway.
Meanwhile Israel's consul-general in New York said he was resigning to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's firing of Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over dissenting remarks.
"I can no longer continue representing this Government," Asaf Zamir said on Twitter. "I believe it is my duty to ensure that Israel remains a beacon of democracy and freedom in the world." |
