Israel's Prime Minister faces public backlash and protests over justice reform bill.

TL;DR Summary
Israel's main international airport halted all departures as thousands protested against a controversial justice reform bill and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to fire Defense Secretary Yoav Gallant, who spoke out against the planned overhaul of Israel's judiciary. Military and business leaders have also spoken out against the plan. Netanyahu's reforms would allow Knesset lawmakers to override decisions made by the country's supreme court, a change that's seen by many as a move to consolidate power. Protests have simmered in Israel for months since the planned changes were rolled out in December.
