Israel's Supreme Court Annuls Netanyahu's Judicial Overhaul Amidst Conflict

Israel's Supreme Court has struck down a law by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government aimed at limiting the court's powers, potentially sparking a constitutional crisis. The law, which prevented judges from using the "reasonableness" standard to overrule government decisions, was seen as part of a broader judicial overhaul by Netanyahu's right-wing coalition. Critics argue that the Supreme Court is a crucial check on government power in a country without a formal written constitution. The ruling comes amidst mass protests against the judicial reforms and an ongoing war in Gaza.
