Thousands of Israelis have joined a march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in the latest protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vow to push through a controversial overhaul of the judicial system.

Hundreds of protesters became thousands as Israelis joined the 45-mile march throughout the day in a demonstration against one of Israel’s most far-right governments in history.
