Israelis marching toward Jerusalem on Saturday in protest of plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to overhaul the judicial system.
Adding to the uncertainty Sunday, Mr. Netanyahu was taken to the hospital to have a pacemaker implanted during a procedure in which he would be placed under sedation, his office said.
“The proper balance between the authorities has been disturbed over the past decades,” Mr. Netanyahu said in a speech Thursday.
“The fear is that our country won’t look like it looks today,” Ms. Holzman said of the judicial overhaul plan.
Similar mass protests in March prompted the government to suspend, at least for now, other planned judicial changes.
