TL;DR Summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was hospitalized and fitted with a pacemaker after experiencing a temporary arrhythmia. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Jerusalem to protest a planned overhaul of the Supreme Court, which has sparked months of nationwide protests.

The final vote on the judicial overhaul is scheduled for Monday. The crisis has also strained relations with the US and caused divisions within Israeli society.
