Israel's Supreme Court Overturns Law Limiting its Powers

Israel's Supreme Court has struck down a law that would have limited its powers, a decision that could potentially ignite a constitutional crisis and fundamentally reshape Israeli democracy. The law, proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was intended to limit the court's ability to overrule government decisions. The decision has the potential to throw Israel's national emergency government into disarray and could reignite the grave domestic turmoil that began over a year ago.
