Thousands of Israelis march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem against the contentious judicial reform bill which they say will undermine the country’s system of checks and balances

Protesters carried Israelis flags and political signs in a line four kilometers long that wound through olive orchards and farmland. They'd left seaside Tel Aviv on Thursday, camping overnight roughly halfway to Jerusalem near the Latrun Monastery.

Lawmakers are expected to vote Monday on a bill that would curtail the Supreme Court’s oversight powers by limiting its ability to strike down decisions it deems “unreasonable.” The standard is meant as a safeguard to protect against corruption and improper appointments of unqualified people.
