Iran Press/ Middle East: The settlers gathered in occupied Jerusalem Al-Quds near the Knesset as lawmakers prepare to conduct the first reading of legislation to change the way judges are chosen.
Around 100,000 people gathered outside the Knesset in occupied Al-Quds last Monday to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial reform plans.
Moreover, rallies held across several parts of the occupied territories entered their seventh consecutive week as demonstrators continue to protest Netanyahu's 'judicial reforms'.
Netanyahu's opponents have been for months taking to the streets in the thousands to protest his judiciary reforms.
The Zionist regime's Justice Minister Yariv Levin rolled out a legal reform package that would limit the authority of the High Court of Justice and give the cabinet control over the selection of new judges.
The planned overhaul drew public criticism and prompted a wave of mass protests, with protestors on Saturday marching along "Ibn Gabirol" Street, with the city center closed to traffic due to the number of settlers filling the street, Sputnik reported.
Netanyahu claims that the judiciary overhaul was key in restoring the balance between the branches of government, as he believes judges had too much power over elected officials.
