Israel's High Court Annuls Netanyahu's Judicial Overhaul in Landmark Decision

Israel's Supreme Court has overturned a controversial law introduced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government that aimed to limit the court's oversight of government decisions. The law, which had been passed in July, removed the Supreme Court's ability to deem government decisions "unreasonable" and was met with widespread protests and international criticism. The 8-7 ruling against the amendment to Israel's "Basic Law" could lead to a constitutional crisis if the government does not comply. The judicial overhaul has been a point of contention, causing social unrest and disagreements within the military and with international allies, including the United States.
