Tens of thousands of Israelis opposed to a judicial overhaul sought by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marched to Jerusalem on Saturday, as pressure mounts on his right-wing government to scrap a bill that would curtail the Supreme Court’s powers.
The government’s bid to reform the judiciary has plunged Israel into one of its worst political crises, sparking nationwide protests, denting the economy and stirring concerns among Western allies.
Carrying blue-and-white Israeli flags, a kilometres-long column of protesters hiked up the winding highway to Jerusalem under a scorching summer sun to the sounds of beating drums and anti-government chants.

Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom reports from West Jerusalem.
