Tel Aviv Police Chief Resigns Amid Mounting Protests Over Judicial Overhaul

Thousands of Israelis blocked major highways and roads to protest the forced resignation of Tel Aviv's police chief over his handling of anti-government demonstrations.
The police chief cited political pressure and interference as the reasons for his resignation and refusal to cooperate with his demotion and replacement.
The protests were sparked by the government's controversial bill to overhaul the judiciary, which protesters fear would undermine Israel's system of checks and balances.
The protests disrupted daily life across Israel, including blocking roads and the main international airport.
The police chief's resignation has intensified ongoing weekly protests against the judiciary reform bill for weeks.
