Dozens were arrested, said police, who used water cannon and deployed mounted officers to disperse demonstrators in Tel Aviv.
The plan was announced in January by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, subsequently splitting the nation and sparking one of the country’s biggest-ever protest movements, with weekly demonstrations often by tens of thousands of people.
