Tens of thousands of Israelis protest amid Memorial celebrations, Independence Day’s eve

Crowds of Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv on Tuesday, the day before the country’s Independence Day, to protest instead of celebrating in the wake of a judicial crisis. This year, Israel celebrated its 75th anniversary in a fractious and uncertain mood, overshadowed by a battle over the judiciary that has opened some of the deepest social divisions since the foundation of the country in 1948.
