Netanyahu out of hospital as thousands protest in Israel over judicial vote

PM recovering from pacemaker operation amid street protests over judicial overhaul plan and Biden call to scrap vote

Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has arrived at parliament for a key vote related to his government's bitterly contested judicial overhaul, only hours after being discharged from hospital after an emergency heart procedure.

Thousands of demonstrators who marched from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last week remained camped out outside the Knesset on Monday before two votes on the plenum floor, in which the reasonableness" clause allowing the supreme court to overrule government decisions is expected to be abolished.
