Earlier, his coalition passed a law making it harder to remove him from office, and thousands of protesters demonstrated across Israel against the plan, leading to clashes and confrontations with right-wing supporters and the police. The defense minister, Yoav Gallant, met with Netanyahu to warn him about the effect the turmoil has had on the military, amid speculation that Gallant himself was about to speak out against the plan. The number of reservists reporting for duty this month has declined amid widespread concerns among them about the effects of the judiciary plan. Despite the growing criticism, Netanyahu stood by his plan, declaring that it would restore balance between elected lawmakers and unelected judges. “It is not the end of democracy, it is the strengthening of democracy,” he said. Details: The proposal would give the government more control over judicial appointments, would weaken the Supreme Court by severely restricting judicial review of legislation and would allow Parliament to override court decisions.

The news came as E.U. leaders approved plans to give Ukraine a million artillery shells over the next 12 months to help defend against an intensified Russian assault in the east. As the war grinds on, Ukraine is going through shells faster than the West can produce or supply them. The E.U. will spend up to 2 billion euros, or $2.14 billion, to supply Ukraine with shells, replenish its own national stocks and ramp up Europe’s ammunition production. Spain’s first shipment of modern battle tanks to Ukraine will be delivered next week, the Spanish Defense Ministry said. The move came after the Polish president announced this month that his country would transfer four Soviet-designed MIG fighters to Ukraine.

The outpouring of protest, which in some cities included violent and chaotic clashes with the police, came a day after Macron had doubled down on the changes. But if the president seemed determined not to back down, so did the protesters, who poured into the streets in numbers that neared the record-setting demonstrations of earlier this month. “The government was counting on the movement losing steam,” Philippe Martinez, the leader of the Confédération Générale du Travail, France’s second-largest union, said yesterday. He added: “The determination is there. The willingness to fight is there, and the objective is the same: Repeal the law.” The unions announced a 10th day of marches and strikes next Tuesday. By the numbers: Unions said that over three million people had marched around the country. The Interior Ministry offered a much lower figure, 1.09 million — but even that was more than the authorities had anticipated.
