The organizers of the protests had previously announced that they would coordinate with security forces after heavy clashes between Eritrean migrants and police at a demonstration hours earlier. Dozens of people were injured in the riots in south Tel Aviv.
Mass protests against government policies have been a regular occurrence in Israel for more than half a year.
At the end of July, as part of a highly controversial restructuring of the judiciary, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government coalition passed a law restricting the Supreme Court's ability to act.
Critics see the government's actions as a threat to Israel's democracy.
On September 12, the Supreme Court is due to consider petitions against the law.
