Israel’s Supreme Court has made a significant ruling regarding Netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul. Here is what we currently understand about the decision.
Israel's Supreme Court has made a groundbreaking decision by invalidating the government's plan to curtail the authority of the judiciary. This move has the potential to reignite tensions in the country, especially as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues his battle against Hamas in Gaza. The court, with a narrow margin of eight votes to seven, declared that the government's amendment to the reasonableness law was unacceptable. This amendment aimed to strip the Supreme Court of its power to deem government decisions as unreasonable and was part of a larger effort to undermine the judiciary, which was approved by the Knesset last year. Netanyahu's judicial overhaul has already sparked widespread protests in Israel, with citizens accusing the government of undermining the country's democracy. This unprecedented ruling may further divide Israel's war cabinet, consisting of Netanyahu and two prominent critics of his court reform, while the conflict in Gaza persists. Let's delve into what we currently know about this ruling and its potential consequences..
