Israel's Supreme Court

Israel's Supreme Court has overturned a law that was part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms, which aimed to prevent judges from striking down government decisions they deem 'unreasonable.' The law was part of a planned overhaul of the Israeli justice system, which was put on hold after Hamas carried out an attack that led to the ongoing war in Gaza. The court's decision could reignite divisions in Israeli society that had preceded the conflict. The ruling has led to criticism from the government, with Israel's Justice Minister Yariv Levin accusing the justices of taking over powers that should be divided among the three branches of government.
