Israel's Judicial Overhaul: Parliament Approves Law Limiting Supreme Court Power

The Israeli parliament has approved the first part of a controversial judicial overhaul, which critics argue is an attempt to undermine the independence of the judiciary. The legislation, proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, would give parliament more power in the appointment of judges and weaken the Supreme Court. Supporters argue that the reforms are necessary to restore balance and accountability in the judicial system.
