President Isaac Herzog presents a proposed compromise on Wednesday but the government immediately rejects it.
Mass protests have rocked Israel since January this year, ever since the Netanyahu government announced the judicial reforms in days after taking office.
Israelis gathered in towns and cities nationwide on Saturday for an 11th straight week of protests against the judicial reform plans of the hard-right government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The protesters fear that the proposed reforms, which are already moving through parliament and would increase the power of politicians over the courts, are a threat to Israeli democracy. In Tel Aviv's Dizengoff square, thousands of demonstrators waved the blue and white Israeli flag of Israel, as well as the rainbow flag of the LGBTQ community.
