YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThousands of people blocked Jerusalem's main highway and gathered outside the parliament building after Israeli lawmakers on Monday approved a key portion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s divisive plan to curb the powers of the country’s justice system.
Police tried to clear away the crowds with water cannons spraying skunk-scented water.
The vote came after a stormy session in which opposition lawmakers chanted “shame” and then stormed out of the chamber.
Mass demonstrations erupted outside the parliament building in Jerusalem and in central Tel Aviv after the vote.
It reflected the determination of Netanyahu and his far-right allies to move ahead with the plan, which has tested the delicate social ties that bind the country, rattled the cohesion of its powerful military and repeatedly drawn concern from its closest ally, the United States.
