Israel Passes Divisive Law Shielding Netanyahu Amid Mass Protests.

Amid mass protests, Parliament in Israel passed a law making it harder to remove Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office. Netanyahu then gave a televised speech vowing to proceed with a controversial judicial overhaul plan that would give the government greater control over appointments to the Supreme Court. The plan has divided the country and led to unrest in the military. Critics say the new law is aimed at protecting Netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption.
