"Transforming Israeli Society: The Impact of Judicial Reforms"

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are protesting proposed judicial reforms that they fear will consolidate power under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and weaken checks on the executive branch. The changes would give the Knesset final say over judicial appointments and the power to overturn Supreme Court decisions with a simple majority. The protests have included general strikes, marches, and the establishment of a tent city outside the parliament. Critics argue that the reforms would push Israeli politics to the right and threaten the country's democratic principles.
