TL;DR Summary

Israeli protesters painted a long red line leading to the Supreme Court in Jerusalem after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a compromise deal for his government's planned judicial overhaul. The hard-right government's drive to limit Supreme Court powers while increasing its own power in selecting judges has caused alarm in Israel and abroad about the country's democratic checks and balances as protests have swelled for weeks. Netanyahu says the plan will strengthen democracy and boost business, while critics warn it will wreak havoc on the country's economy and isolate Israel internationally.
