"Netanyahu's Hospitalization Reflects Israel's Deepening Crisis and Unrest"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been released from the hospital after a heart procedure, but now faces a national crisis as parliament prepares to vote on a major piece of legislation to overhaul the country's justice system. The proposed changes, driven by a coalition of ultranationalist and ultra-religious parties, have divided Israel and sparked widespread opposition. Protesters have blocked roads and businesses have closed in protest. Efforts to find a compromise are underway, but it remains uncertain whether an agreement will be reached before the final vote. The situation is being closely watched by the United States, with President Biden warning against pushing ahead with the divisive legal changes.
