Tel Aviv - Hundreds of thousands of Israelis demonstrated against the government's proposed overhaul of the judicial system in what the organisers called as the largest street protests in Israel's history.
The rallies are organized in opposition to the government's plans, which many view as a threat to the country's legal system and democracy.
The protests against the proposed reforms have been widespread and ongoing, with as many as 500,000 people taking to the streets across Israel in what was called the largest demonstration in the country's history.
On Saturday, a record crowd of 50,000 marched in the northern city of Haifa, in what was the 10th consecutive week of nationwide protests against the government plans.
About 200,000 people turned up in Tel Aviv, many carrying Israel's national flag.
Protesters applauded police chief Amichai Eshed as he walked through the rally. Mr Netanyahu's government had earlier sought to remove the district commander - but the move was blocked by the country's attorney general.
Tel Aviv police commander Ami Eshed, fired on Ben-Gvir's orders, was cheered on by Tel Aviv crowd.
The Israeli government's proposed reforms aim to give the elected government more control over the selection of judges and limit the power of the Supreme Court.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended the changes as necessary to restore balance between the branches of government. He argues that the Supreme Court has overreached its powers in recent years and has sought to limit the government's ability to carry out its policies.
The reforms have been supported by Netanyahu's right-wing coalition and were voted for by the Israeli public in the last election.
The proposed changes have sparked a significant public outcry, with opponents claiming that they threaten democracy.
Many Israelis fear that the reforms will politicize the judiciary and give the government too much control over the legal system. Critics also argue that the changes could lead to an authoritarian government, as they would limit the ability of the Supreme Court to check the power of the executive and strike down legislation.
The issue has also caused deep divisions in Israeli society, with reservists threatening to refuse to serve as a way of showing their opposition. This is a significant development, as reservists are the backbone of Israel's military.
Despite the public outcry, the government has stood firm on the proposed reforms, claiming that the protests are politically motivated and that the changes are necessary to restore balance between the branches of government.
The situation remains tense, and it is unclear what the future holds for Israel's legal system and democracy.
