"Israel's Supreme Court Halts Netanyahu's Judicial Overhaul Amid Political Tensions and Military Maneuvers"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition in Israel has decided not to immediately counteract a Supreme Court ruling that struck down a law aimed at limiting the judiciary's powers. This pause comes amid a conflict with Hamas in Gaza, with both supporters and opponents of the judicial overhaul emphasizing the importance of national unity during wartime. The controversial law, part of a broader government plan to increase the power of elected officials, was invalidated by a narrow court decision. Political figures across the spectrum are calling for respect for the ruling and focusing on the war effort, while the Supreme Court has also established its authority to overturn Basic Laws that harm the state's Jewish and democratic character.
