Netanyahu's Controversial Judicial Reforms: Threat to Israel's Democracy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to commit to abiding by a potential Supreme Court ruling that could strike down his controversial judicial reform law, which limits the power of Israel's Supreme Court. Netanyahu warned that such a ruling could lead to "uncharted territory" and compared it to the US Supreme Court declaring a constitutional amendment unconstitutional. The law, passed by the Knesset, has sparked protests and criticism, including from the White House. Critics argue that the reforms would erode Israeli democracy and grant Netanyahu excessive powers. Netanyahu denied these claims and emphasized the strong relationship between Israel and the United States.
