Israel's government advances judiciary overhaul amid mounting opposition
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering dissolving the Knesset, while the governing coalition proceeds with a plan to overhaul the judiciary despite resistance from the ultra‑Orthodox community, the military and reservists, and a wave of protests is expected.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may push to dissolve the Knesset within days, according to Times of Israel. The governing coalition moved ahead on Monday with its plan to overhaul the country's judiciary, reported by English El País, and a parliamentary committee was preparing a bill that would limit judicial oversight on some government decisions, also reported by English El País.
The ultra‑Orthodox are boycotting coalition legislation, Times of Israel reported. There is growing opposition from within the country's military, English El País noted, and many reservists have warned they will not show up for duty if the overhaul moves ahead, according to the same outlet.
A wave of mass protests is expected this week, English El País reported.
