Netanyahu's Government Backtracks on Judicial Overhaul Amidst Tensions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a softening of his judicial overhaul plan, but the opposition has said it will still challenge key legislation in the Supreme Court, setting the stage for a constitutional showdown. The package of reforms sought by Netanyahu's religious-nationalist coalition has triggered weeks of unprecedented street demonstrations and stirred worries among Western allies who see a threat to the independence of Israel's justice system. After discussing the crisis with U.S. President Joe Biden, Netanyahu said he would postpone most of the bills apart from legislation shaking up Israel's system for selecting judges, which he wants ratified before a parliament recess on April 2.

Kohelet Policy Forum's Call for Compromise Amidst Israel's Political Tensions

The Kohelet Policy Forum, the right-wing think tank that inspired the Israeli government's controversial judicial overhaul program, has called for compromise over the far-reaching proposals, suggesting that the High Court override law could be removed entirely from the legislative package. The organization also suggested that compromise over concerns regarding the abusive use of Basic Laws could be overcome, although it appeared less open to serious compromise over the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee. Despite widespread public opposition, the coalition has continued its legislative drive, with the Knesset approving a bill to curtail the High Court's power of judicial review over Knesset laws.
