4:17Now PlayingBlack ads covered newspaper front pages and protesters vowed to continue to fight on Tuesday (July 25) in a furore over the hard-right government's ratification of the first part of judicial reforms that critics fear endanger independence of the courts.
The bill curbing Supreme Court review of some government decisions passed in a stormy Knesset parliament on Monday (July 24) after a walkout by lawmakers. Some accused long-serving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of pushing Israel towards autocracy.
With demonstrations convulsing Israel for months, thousands took to the streets and scuffled with police on Monday night.
"A Black Day for Israeli Democracy," said the ad on the front of major newspapers placed by a group describing itself as worried hi-tech workers.
The crisis has opened a deep divide in Israeli society and strained ties with Israel's closest ally, the United States, which called Monday's vote "unfortunate".
