Israel to proceed with controversial judicial overhaul plan despite failed talks, says Netanyahu.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government will move ahead with plans to overhaul the country's judicial system after talks with opposition parties failed. The plan, which was put on hold in March after mass protests, aims to restore power to elected officials and weaken the Supreme Court. Critics say it would upend Israel's system of checks and balances and push the country toward authoritarianism. Opposition leaders said they were ready for another round of protests to make sure "every attempt to harm Israel's democratic justice system will fail."
