"Israeli Supreme Court Overturns Netanyahu's Judicial Reform Amidst National Tensions and Conflict"

Israel's Supreme Court has struck down a key part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial overhaul plan, which aimed to limit the court's power and faced widespread protests. The court's decision, which came amid an ongoing war with Hamas, could reignite societal tensions. The overturned law would have prevented judges from deeming government decisions "unreasonable," a move critics argued could lead to corruption. The ruling is a significant setback for Netanyahu's government, which could potentially ignore the decision, risking a constitutional crisis. The overhaul has been controversial, with opponents viewing it as a threat to democracy and a power grab by Netanyahu, who is currently on trial for corruption charges.
