Nationwide Protests Paralyze Israel as Citizens Rally Against Judicial Overhaul

Organizations leading the judicial overhaul protests in Israel are planning widespread demonstrations to shut down the country after the controversial bill to repeal the court's "reasonableness standard" passed its first reading. Protesters will block highways, hold demonstrations at key locations, and demand a general strike. The police have warned of zero tolerance for public order disturbances and violence against law enforcement. The protest movement believes that demonstrations at Ben-Gurion Airport will receive significant international coverage and demonstrate the government's loss of legitimacy and control. The Airports Authority has urged passengers to arrive early and use public transit due to potential disruptions.
