Israelis plan million-strong march as protesters call for social justice
Campaigners vow 'more pressure and more people' after 300,000-strong demonstration across country
Activists behind spiralling protests in Israel plan to build on one of the biggest marches ever seen in the country by piling on "more pressure, more people, more tents and more protests" culminating in a million-strong march in 50 cities next month.
An estimated 300,000 people took to the streets on Saturday to press their demands for social justice and lower living costs in the largest demonstrations over social issues ever seen in the country. Despite scepticism that turnout could surpass previous events, almost twice as many people joined marches in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other towns and cities.
Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, was forced to respond to the spiralling protests with the establishment of a committee to "listen to the distress" and recommend action.
