The largest nationwide protest march took place in Tel Aviv for the 13th consecutive Saturday.

"The government does not want to reach an agreement and it just wants to buy time to carry out a judicial coup," the organisers of the protests said in a statement.

They made it clear that the responsibility to protect democracy rests with the people, declaring that "this is the most critical time since the founding of the state."

According to the statement, protest actions took place in 150 places in Israel.

In Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities, protesters blocked several streets and waved Israel flag, according to media reports. 

Banners read: "Democracy is stronger than this government" or "Arrest Netanyahu."

On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delayed the controversial bill for a few weeks after mass protests and a general strike in order to "make room for dialogue."

Since Tuesday, several talks have taken place between the ruling coalition and the opposition.

However, politicians from opposition parties have repeatedly questioned Netanyahu's seriousness in wanting to compromise.
