Israeli Protests Persist Against Judicial Overhaul
Israeli protests against the government's plan to overhaul the judiciary continue, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to pause the proposals. The plan would give Netanyahu and his allies the final say in appointing judges and limit the Supreme Court's ability to review laws. Protest organizers aim to maintain momentum until the proposed changes are scrapped, saying it will destroy a system of checks and balances and give Netanyahu too much power, especially as he is currently on trial for corruption charges.
