Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoned Yoav Gallant to a meeting and told him he no longer had faith in him as defense minister. The plan to limit the powers of the judiciary led to months of protests.

Tens of thousands of protesters returned to the streets on Sunday night following Gallant's dismissal.

In Jerusalem, police and soldiers used water cannons against demonstrators near Netanyahu's house.

The leaders of the protest accuse Mr. Netanyahu of behaving like a dictator and destroying the security of Israel.

Members of Netanyahu’s own coalition have asked him to abandon his planned judicial reform while Israel’s private representatives in the US have resigned over Netanyahu’s autocratic policies.
