Live: Tens of thousands of Israelis protest against Netanyahu's judicial overhaul

WARNING: This livestream might contain scenes that some viewers may find distressing. Watch live as tens of thousands of Israelis protest against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul. Dozens of Israeli air force reservists said Wednesday, 28 June, they'll refuse to show up for duty if Mr Netanyahu's right-wing government moves ahead with a contentious plan to overhaul the country's judiciary. The threat comes after Israel's prime minister said his government would proceed with the overhaul after talks with the opposition to find a compromise faltered. Coalition legislators have since been advancing a legal change to what's known as the “reasonability standard” that critics say would allow the government to pass arbitrary decisions and grant it too much power. Israeli media reported 110 air force veterans signed the letter Wednesday saying that if the law moving ahead in parliament now, or any other law proposed as part of the overhaul, is passed, the reservists will not show up for duty.
