Israeli protesters blocked the main roads and junctions across Israel on Wednesday (March 1), as lawmakers were set to plow ahead with a contentious judicial overhaul that opponents see as a threat to democracy.
Demonstrations were expected to intensify nationwide in what protest organizers have dubbed a “day of disruption.”
However, Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he would not allow a “mutiny,” or “anarchists” to block roads.
