REUTERS/Oren AlonJERUSALEM, July 9 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signalled impatience on Sunday with disruptions caused by resurgent demonstrations against his judicial overhaul plans, summoning his attorney-general for a cabinet discussion of police counter-measures.
The opposition casts the bill as a step toward curbing judicial independence that would eventually subordinate the Supreme Court to politicians.
Street protests that had subsided are flaring anew, with protesters planning to converge on Israel's main airport on Monday.
Cabinet minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he would boycott Big unless it retracted what he deemed political "bullying" by a business.
