At the main rally held in Tel Aviv, demonstrators chanted pro-“democracy” slogans and waved Israeli flags. Many sang “Bibi Ciao,” a cover of the Italian partisans’ well-known “Bella Ciao,” which had been heard against Netanyahu in the past. “Bibi” is the nickname of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Israeli cities for another Saturday to protest the controversial reform of the justice system promoted by the Netanyahu government.

About 150,000 protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, according to organizers. Anti-government demonstrations were also held in Jerusalem, Haifa and other cities in the country.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Israel’s conservative prime minister appeared willing to water his wine by abandoning the most controversial piece of judicial reform, which would have allowed parliament to overturn Supreme Court decisions.
However, protesters remain unconvinced of Netanyahu’s intentions and have planned another rally on Monday outside Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv.
