Israeli Parliament Weakens Supreme Court with Controversial Law

The Israeli parliament has passed a controversial bill that weakens the powers of the Supreme Court and limits its ability to strike down government decisions. Despite mass protests and last-minute talks, the far-right government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed ahead with the vote, which passed 64-0 after the opposition boycotted it. The law is part of a broader effort to overhaul the country's judiciary.
