Israel Passes Law Shielding Netanyahu from Legal Consequences.

Israel’s Attorney General has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of acting illegally by involving himself in his government’s moves to change the country’s judicial system. This comes after the Netanyahu government pushed through a law on Thursday effectively stripping the courts of the power to declare a prime minister unfit for office. The move has caused widespread protests and criticism from business and financial leaders, former military and intelligence commanders, and international allies including US President Joe Biden. Netanyahu denies breaking the law or violating his conflict of interest agreement.
