Continuing the ten-week streak, thousands of Israeli settlers have protested against the government's bill for judicial reform which they [protestors] have described as a threat to democracy.

Dismissing requests for a suspension to allow for negotiations on the contentious proposal, Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet is hell-bent on going through with its legislative agenda to pass the judicial reforms. 

Israeli media reported the largest demonstration yet in the coastal settlement of "Tel Aviv" where protestors have amounted to around 100,000. 

According to The Times of Israel, over 500,000 Israelis took part in protests across occupied Palestine on Saturday, with about 250,000 attending the nighttime protest in "Tel Aviv."

The publication said, citing police, that at least three protesters were detained during the demonstration along "Tel Aviv's Ayalon" Highway on Saturday.

Protests were also held in other settlements and occupied cities across Palestine. 

According to Israeli media, there were around 10,000 Israeli protesters in Beer Al Sabe and 50,000 in Haifa, both of which were the largest rallies in both occupied cities so far.

Simcha Rotman, the chairman of the law committee in the Knesset, has scheduled daily hearings to discuss various aspects of the proposed judicial reform. Starting  Sunday and will continue until Wednesday in anticipation of the vote on the bill.

The government coalition, according to Justice Minister Yariv Levin, intends to pass significant components of the proposed reforms prior to the start of the April 2 legislative break of the parliament.
