Israeli lawmakers on Monday approved a key portion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to reshape the country's justice system.
Israeli lawmakers on Monday approved a key portion of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to reshape the country’s justice system.
The overhaul calls for sweeping changes aimed at curbing the powers of the judiciary, from limiting the Supreme Court’s ability to challenge parliamentary decisions to changing the way judges are selected. Netanyahu and his allies say the changes are needed to curb the powers of unelected judges. More mass protests are now expected, and the Movement for Quality Government, a civil society group, immediately announced it would challenge the new law in the Supreme Court.
Earlier, demonstrators blocked a road leading up to the parliament, and big mall chains and some gas stations shuttered their doors in protest. “Given the range of threats and challenges confronting Israel right now, it doesn’t make sense for Israeli leaders to rush this — the focus should be on pulling people together and finding consensus,” he told the site.
As lawmakers debated, protesters banging on drums and blowing horns blocked a road leading to Israel’s parliament, or Knesset, and police used water cannons to push them back. The protest movement said one of its leaders was arrested.
