Israel's Supreme Court Strikes Down Law Limiting Judiciary's Powers

The decision, seen as a significant blow to Prime Minister Netanyahu's government, has intensified the cultural war in Israel amid ongoing conflict.

• Israel's Supreme Court struck down a law limiting the judiciary's powers, a move seen as a significant blow to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
• The court's decision has been hailed as 'the most important ruling since the foundation of the state' by some, including former attorney general and former Supreme Court judge Menachem Mazuz.
• Despite the ruling, Netanyahu and his allies have signaled they will not immediately counteract the decision, citing the need for national unity amid the ongoing war.
• The ruling has intensified the cultural war in Israel, with critics arguing that Netanyahu's government is pushing for a 'Jewish state ruling over the whole land of Israel'.
• Netanyahu's Likud party is currently sinking in opinion polls, with a recent poll suggesting that if elections were held now, Likud would secure only 16 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.
