Israelis protest judicial reform at Supreme Court in Jerusalem (10 images)

By Wade Sheridan

Protesters gather in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's overhaul of the country's judicial system on September 11, 2023. The court is set to hear a landmark case on the "reasonableness" law, which prevents courts from weighing in on the reasonableness of government decisions.
