Israeli High Court Annuls Netanyahu's Judicial Overhaul Amidst Escalating Conflict

The Israeli Supreme Court has struck down a key part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's judicial reform, which prevented judges from overturning government decisions they found "unreasonable." This ruling represents a significant setback for Netanyahu amidst ongoing unrest and protests in Israel over the proposed changes. Concurrently, Israel is engaged in a conflict with Hamas, with the IDF announcing a strategic withdrawal to focus on targeted operations against Hamas militants in Gaza. Netanyahu has indicated that the conflict with Hamas is expected to continue for many more months.
