Demonstrations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his plan to pass a judicial overhaul were renewed for the 25th consecutive week in "Tel Aviv".

Iran PressMiddle East: The media cited the Crowd Solutions website as saying that 95,000 settlers participated in the demonstration on "Kaplan Street" in "Tel Aviv".

The protests come ahead of the Knesset's "Constitution, Law and Justice Committee" meetings on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to resume legislation related to the judicial overhaul, after nearly a three-month halt due to massive violent protests staged by the opposition that the Zionist regime premier witnessed in rejection of the controversial amendments that would limit the power of the Supreme Court.

Tens of thousands of Zionist settlers demonstrated in dozens of locations. The Zionist regime police preempted the demonstrations by blocking several main streets in "Tel Aviv" and occupied Haifa, media reported.

On Saturday night, the so-called "Kaplan Force" was launched at the main demonstration on "Kaplan Street". According to the organizers of the protests, the force will reportedly stage a series of protest activities before the end of the summer session of the Knesset on July 31, including the closure of Ben Gurion Airport, seaports, government buildings, and major road junctions.

The force pointed out that the previous protests were "child's play" compared to what would happen if Netanyahu's cabinet enforces the legislation.

According to the Zionist regime media, the "Kaplan Force" blocked "Ayalon Highway" to incoming traffic during Saturday's protests and clashed with the occupation police.

In addition, 300 reserve doctors warned that they would not show up to service in case Netanyahu took any unilateral step and did not back down from the judicial overhaul.

The protests come amid a stalemate in overhaul negotiations between Netanyahu's cabinet and the opposition after the latter decided last week to freeze the talks that were being held at the Zionist regime's head Isaac Herzog's residence, which came after Netanyahu attempted to fail a vote to nominate two Knesset members to the critical Judicial Selection Committee — the body that supporters of the judicial overhaul had sought to drastically alter.

Zionist regime media reported that after compelling all but one coalition MK to withdraw from the contest, Netanyahu urged his coalition to vote against both candidates for the body, essentially postponing the elections for 30 days.

However, several Likud members voted for opposition candidate MK Karine Elharrar, who was elected to the body. The voting for the panel's second MK will take place in the next weeks.
