Tens of thousands have taken to the streets across Israel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his defense minister.
Yoav Gallant had spoken out against controversial plans to overhaul the justice system.
In Jerusalem, police and soldiers used water cannon against demonstrators near Mr. Netanyahu’s house.
A week of disruption had already been planned over the new law under the judicial reforms that include plans that would give the government full control over the committee which appoints judges.
They would also make it harder for courts to remove a leader deemed unfit for office, which has angered many who consider it in the interests of the incumbent, Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ongoing trial for corruption.
Mr. Netanyahu says the reforms are designed to stop the courts over-reaching their powers and that they were voted for by the public at the last election. END
