Anti-government protests in Israel gathered up to 450,000 people a day. This is reported by The Jerusalem Postt, citing data from the organizers of the protests.

According to The Times of Israel, up to 200 thousand protesters took to the action in the center of Tel Aviv.

People are protesting against the policy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and judicial reform, despite the fact that the head of government has postponed its adoption until the summer.

Water cannons and mounted police were used against demonstrators who did not obey police orders in Tel Aviv. Dozens of violators of the order were detained.

On March 27, Netanyahu announced that he would postpone the second and third readings of the judicial reform bill until the next parliamentary session in the summer.

US President Joe Biden spoke out against the continuation of judicial reform in Israel. Biden also said that he does not plan to receive the Israeli Prime Minister in Washington in the near future.
