The Israeli Supreme Court has overturned a key part of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's judicial reform plan and delayed a law that would protect him from mandatory recusal, marking significant legal setbacks for his government. These rulings come amidst a war with Hamas and declining popularity for Netanyahu, with polls suggesting a significant drop in seats for his party. Dr. Amir Fuchs from the Israel Democracy Institute discussed the implications of these decisions, including the potential for Netanyahu's impeachment and the consequences if he is convicted in his corruption trials.

Israel's Supreme Court has struck down a key piece of legislation from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government that aimed to limit the judiciary's power, marking a historic assertion of judicial authority and potentially averting a constitutional crisis. The Court ruled that it has the power to overturn Basic Laws, which are akin to a constitution in Israel, if they threaten the democratic nature of the state. This decision comes amidst a tense period due to an ongoing war in Gaza, which has somewhat muted the domestic response. However, the ruling has significant implications for the balance of power in Israeli politics and the future of its democracy.

The court's decision, which came amidst ongoing conflict with Hamas, has been accepted by the government and opposition alike in a bid to maintain national unity during the crisis.
