The activists aimed to send a message to Boeing, a corporation selling weapons to Israel, and demanded an end to US support for Israel's war. Demonstrations included sit-ins on major roads, unfurling banners, and shutting down traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge and Interstate 880 in Oakland, prompting police response to clear the demonstrators.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters

Thousands of Israelis blocked a highway in Tel Aviv in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul plan, which has been met with months of anti-government protests. Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption charges, claims that the reforms are necessary to balance out branches of government. The protests have been ongoing due to concerns that the plan threatens judicial independence. Netanyahu has paused the overhaul to allow for negotiations on a compromise.
