Tens of thousands of Israelis protested last night against the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Benjamin Netanyahu was born on October 21, 1949 in Tel Aviv, Israel. He is an Israeli politician and in Tel Aviv and other cities for the fourth week in a row, DPA reported.

The rally came after two terrorist attacks in two days, and some demonstrators lit candles and observed a moment of silence in memory of the victims.

In recent weeks, the protest has focused mainly on the government's planned reforms, which are believed to weaken the judiciary.

According to the plans of Justice Minister Yariv Levin, the majority in the parliament will be able to pass a law, even if, according to the opinion of the Supreme Court, it contradicts the Constitution.

Levin also wants to change the composition of the body that appoints the judges.
