Tel Aviv Protests Escalate Amid Police Chief's Resignation and Judicial Reform Uproar

Thousands of Israelis took to the streets in protest after the popular police chief of Tel Aviv, Ami Eshed, announced his apparent forced resignation, citing government interference. Eshed clashed with the far-right national security minister over handling anti-government protests. Demonstrators oppose the government's plans to overhaul the judicial system, which critics argue threatens democracy. Protesters blocked highways, lit bonfires, and clashed with police, leading to the arrest of a driver who drove into the crowd.
