Israelis in Haifa staged a demonstration outside the city’s governmental complex on Thursday morning, causing several streets to be closed to traffic, according to police.
In Herzliya, ynet reported that three demonstrators were arrested after replacing street signs with signs that said, “Democracy Street.”
The protests follow the preparation of the reasonableness clause for its imminent final readings in Knesset.
The reasonableness standard is a common law doctrine that allows judicial review and striking of government decisions deemed extremely beyond what a reasonable authority would decide.

The mass march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is expected to continue through Thursday as well, according to Israeli media.
