Massive Pro-Israel Rally Backs Controversial Judicial Overhaul

Tens of thousands of right-wing Israelis have rallied in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government's controversial legislation that would strip the country's highest court of much of its power. The planned legislation has fuelled weeks of mass protests by those who oppose it, with critics saying it removes a crucial check on those in power. The plan would give Netanyahu and his far-right and ultra-Orthodox coalition partners the final say in appointing the nation's judges and limit the court's ability to review laws.
