Tens of thousands of Israelis protested outside parliament on Monday against the government's controversial judicial reform plan, which aims to give lawmakers substantially more control over the supreme court. The measures, which were inching towards approval through a series of preliminary votes inside the chamber, have provoked widespread criticism and charges that they would give the legislative branch nearly unchecked authority. FRANCE 24 is joined by Amir Tibon, an Israeli journalist for Haaretz in Tel Aviv to explain why this judicial overhaul is so important to Netanhayu's new government.
