Hunderttausende hatten in Israel gegen gegen die geplante Justizreform protestiert. Dann kam der Gaza-Krieg und das Vorhaben trat in der Hintergrund. Doch nun hat das Parlament ein umstrittenes Richtergesetz beschlossen.
The Israeli Knesset passed a controversial law granting more power to elected officials in the appointment of judges, despite months of protests against the broader judicial reform. The law was approved with 67 votes in favor and one against. This action follows ongoing tensions between the government and the judiciary, including blocked judicial appointments and accusations of judicial overreach, reigniting widespread protests.
