The Knesset recently voted to approve the Prime Minister's judicial overhaul plan on the concept of "reasonableness."

The Times of Israel newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing law enforcement, that the latest protests in the settler city of 'Tel Aviv' have ended, with 18 detained for attacking the police and disturbing internal order and 10 policemen receiving injuries. 

Over the past seven months, "Israel" has been shaken by mass rallies over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul plan that aims to weaken the role of the judiciary at the expense of the government's.

On Monday, the Knesset voted to approve the bill on the concept of reasonableness, prompting the government to sideline the Supreme Court's power to veto or review decisions made by the ruling echelon.

Violent clashes broke out between demonstrators against the overhaul and occupation police ahead of the vote and later intensified after the cabinet greenlighted the legislation.

Ongoing attempts by settlers to storm the Knesset have been brutally faced by law enforcement using water cannons and mounted officers to disperse the angry crowds.

The opposition coalition, comprising 56 members and mainly represented by former Prime Minister Yair Lapid, boycotted the final vote, resulting in the bill passing with 0 opposition votes and 64 in favor.

In a statement on Monday, the White House said that it considers the Knesset's vote to limit the powers of the Supreme Court as "unfortunate."

"As a lifelong friend of "Israel", President Biden has publicly and privately expressed his views that major democratic changes to be enduring must have as broad a consensus as possible," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, commenting on the decision.
