💨 Abstract

Israeli parliament approved a bill giving politicians greater influence in selecting judges, sparking protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. The bill changes the composition of the Judges Selection Committee, removing members chosen by the Israel Bar Association and replacing them with representatives chosen by the government and opposition. Opposition parties boycotted the final vote, denouncing the measure as a blow to Israeli democracy. Critics argue it is an attempt to undermine the authority of the justice system.
