Thousands of Israelis protest against new govt policies, afraid of losing democracy

Thousands of Israelis staged a massive protest against plans by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government. The protesters gathered in the central city of Tel Aviv days after the most right-wing and religiously conservative government in the country’s 74-year history was sworn in. Sources said that over 10,000 protesters gathered for the rally at the coastal city’s Habima Square. Protestors asserted that the new policies threaten democracy and freedoms.
