JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies say protesters are “anarchists” after they gathered outside a Tel Aviv salon where his wife was getting her hair done. The demonstration marked a chaotic end to a day of nationwide demonstrations against the government’s contentious plans to overhaul the legal system. Sara Netanyahu has long been a polarizing figure in Israel, and the incident late Wednesday in a posh neighborhood of central Tel Aviv reflected Israel’s emotionally charged divide over the overhaul, seen by opponents as an existential threat to the country. More protests are planned for Thursday.
