Leaked Israeli Supreme Court May Block Netanyahu's Judicial Overhaul

The ruling, expected in mid-January, could disrupt the wartime government and potentially lead to a constitutional crisis.

A leaked draft of the Israeli Supreme Court's ruling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the country's courts indicates that a narrow majority of the court intends to block a key part of the overhaul.
The ruling, expected in mid-January, could disrupt Netanyahu's fragile wartime government and potentially throw Israel's unity government into disarray.
The law in question, passed in July, stripped the Israeli Supreme Court of the power to overturn government actions and appointments it deems 'unreasonable.'
Should the court rule against Netanyahu, it could set off a constitutional crisis within Israel if his allies try to defy it.
The law was part of Netanyahu's wider plan to weaken the country's judiciary, which led to months of huge street protests.
