Elite Israeli Reservists Join Judicial Protests and Threaten Volunteer Service

Hundreds of Israeli reservists from elite military and intelligence units have announced they will not turn up for some duties from Sunday in protest at the hard-right government's planned judicial overhaul. Members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, which wields a Knesset majority, say they want bills that would limit the authority of the Supreme Court to be written into law by April 2. The plan has stirred concern for Israel's democratic health at home and abroad.
