Israeli police arrested six protesters against the judicial overhaul following a demo in front of the home of Justice Minister Yariv Levin in the city of Modi'in.

The demonstrators closed off the entrance to the street with barbed wire and rubber tyres, leading to friction with the police.

The judicial overhaul was partially suspended during ongoing negotiations between the government and opposition, but looks set to go full steam ahead. The whip of the government coalition, Ofir Katz, has asked ministers and coalition lawmakers not to travel abroad between July 10 and July 26, to ensure they are present to vote for bills related to judicial reforms.
