Attorney General accuses Netanyahu of illegal involvement in judicial overhaul.

Israel's attorney general accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of breaking the law by ignoring a conflict of interest over his ongoing trial for corruption and getting directly involved in his government's judicial overhaul plan. Netanyahu has pushed ahead with the proposed changes, which have caused a deep split in Israeli society, bringing tens of thousands of protesters to the streets, alarming the business establishment and opening cracks in the right-wing coalition itself. The proposed plan would give the government sway in choosing judges and limit the Supreme Court's power to strike down laws, sparking weeks of nationwide demonstrations and drawing concern among the country's Western allies.
