Israeli Spy Chiefs Deny Involvement in Anti-Overhaul Protests Amid Tensions.

Leaked documents reveal that senior leaders of Israel's Mossad spy service allegedly advocated for officials and citizens to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms, which would weaken the country's Supreme Court. The direct intervention of Mossad in Israeli politics is forbidden, and the leak of the information, apparently from US espionage, could further inflame political unrest in Israel. Netanyahu's office and Mossad have denied the allegations. The proposed overhaul would hand Israel's parliament control over judicial appointments, eliminate judicial review of legislation, and allow lawmakers to vote down Supreme Court decisions.
