Israeli Supreme Court Strikes Down Netanyahu’s Judicial Reform Law

The Netanyahu government has attempted to gain greater power over appointing judges as well along with the power to scrap the requirement for ministers to obey the advice of their legal advisers. The Israeli Prime Minister has argued that the changes are required to redress the balance between the judges and the politicians, the BBC report added.
