Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's travel plans for meeting his counterpart Giorgia Meloni in Rome were seriously disrupted by continuing demonstrations, which forced him to be airlifted to Ben Gurion airport.

Mr Netanyahu's son has accused police of cooperating with protestors opposed to a controversial judicial reform.

Dubbed 'the day of resisting dictatorship' by organisers, the night ended with an emotional plea by President Isaac Herzog for political compromise.

But is that likely? Newsday asked one of the organisers of protests against these reforms, renowned political activist Ishay Hadas.

鈥淭he government鈥檚 plan is a coup against the country. The government is fighting the state鈥� and is trying to make something else, something different鈥� very soon we are going to arrive at a point of no return.鈥�
