Ever since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to “reform” Israel’s Supreme Court (reform as in strip it of power) there have been widespread and large protests. UPDATE: Measurable damage is taking place with Israel’s economy, which you can read about in this linked LA Times article. There has been fierce resistance to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempt to strip power from the Israeli Supreme Court – and it’s growing. But again, some serious negotiating with other Parties was necessary for Netanyahu and the Likud Party to put together their coalition. For the life of me I can’t understand why those other Parties have delivered enough votes to pass this first step of stripping their Supreme Court of power.
