The procession left the other day. People carry signs and shout “democracy” slogans. The distance between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is 60 kilometers.
Demonstrations have been organized in Israel for months.
On Tuesday, people blocked roads and crowded railway stations. In Tel Aviv, the entrance to the army headquarters was blocked.
In Jerusalem, they gathered near the Supreme Court building. According to the opponents, the law reform ruins democracy. The justice system reform deeply divides Israelis.
The police have arrested dozens of people during the protests.
The law reform was put on hold at the end of March during negotiations between the government and the opposition parties. Attempts at negotiations failed, however, and the administration led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to continue with the controversial reform.
