Protests continue in Israel against the bill that will restrict the powers of the judiciary, which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanhayu plans to implement. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, to oppose judicial reform.
The protesters, playing drums and chanting anti-government slogans, marched towards Jerusalem. Protesters marching with Israeli flags blocked the roads and demanded that the judicial reform be cancelled.
LETTER FROM THE SECURITY FORCES TO NETANYAHU
In Israel, thousands of security officials, including the army, police and MOSSAD leaders, issued an open letter to Netanyahu to cancel the vote and instead negotiate the agreed reforms. “The law crushes what is shared by Israeli society, separates people, divides the Israel Defense Forces, and deals fatal blows to our country’s security,” the letter said. it was said.
On the other hand, the bill is expected to be voted again by the parliament on 24 July. According to the Israeli government, the draft law that would limit the powers of the judiciary was created to balance the branches of authority because the court became too intrusive.
DISCUSSIVE JUDICIAL REFORM PACKAGE
The controversial judicial reform, opposed by Israeli President Isaac Herzog and the United States, includes limiting the powers of the Supreme Court, overriding court decisions by parliament, and reducing the judiciary’s influence over the selection of judges.
While Israel does not have a written Constitution, the Supreme Court acts as the highest judicial authority.
In Israel, there are “basic laws” regarding the functioning of the state, its administration and human rights and freedoms.
On July 4, Israel’s Constitutional Commission approved the draft law that would limit the judiciary’s control over the government. The bill in question limits the Supreme Court’s power to overturn the government’s and parliament’s decisions if they find it inconsistent with the law. (UAV)
