ISRAEL IN TURMOIL AS PARLIAMENT PASSES BILL LIMITING SUPREME COURT POWERS – Prime Minister Netanyahu got his wish when the parliament passed a bill that would limit the ability of the Supreme Court to check the laws and policies of the government. He got this wish while recovering from emergency heart surgery to install a pacemaker after doctors discovered significant blockage in his heart.
After the victory, he addressed the nation, saying “We all know that the Israel Defense Forces relies on dedicated reservists who love the country. The call for refusal harms the security of all citizens of the country. I call on you, our brothers and sisters who serve in the reserves — leave the service in the IDF out of the political debate.” GO DEEPER
