Thousands of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv and other cities across the country Saturday to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul, seeking to sustain a movement that pressured the premier to delay the divisive plan and engage in negotiations over a compromise. 

Saturday night’s protests mark the 13th straight weekend that Israelis have come out to demonstrate against the plan in what has become a weekly ritual for many people here. Around 230,000 people demonstrated in downtown Tel Aviv, protest organizers estimated.
