"Israel's High Court Challenges Netanyahu's Overhaul, Asserts Limits on Majority Rule"

Israel's Supreme Court has struck down a key part of Prime Minister Netanyahu's judicial overhaul, which aimed to limit the court's power, amidst a backdrop of conflict with Hamas in Gaza. The ruling comes at a sensitive time as Israel announces the withdrawal of troops from Gaza, signaling a potential shift in the war. The government's popularity has waned due to the war, and the public is divided on the issue of judicial powers and the ongoing conflict. The Supreme Court's decision could have significant implications for the balance of power in Israel's democracy and the government's ability to maintain its current policies during a period of intense conflict and humanitarian crisis.
