Algeria's Bid to Join BRICS: A Game Changer in Global Alliances

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent surgery to implant a pacemaker ahead of a parliamentary debate on a controversial judicial overhaul bill that has sparked widespread protests. The proposed revamp, seen as a threat to Israel's democracy, aims to curb the Supreme Court's powers and give the government more influence in the appointment of judges. Critics accuse Netanyahu of using the reforms to quash potential judgments against him, while supporters argue that the changes are necessary for a better balance of power. The final vote on the bill is scheduled for Monday.
