The Knesset to Vote Next Week on Supreme Court Bill

A statement issued by the Knesset today, Wednesday, announced that the Israeli parliament will hold a final vote next week on a bill that has caused widespread controversy and could limit the powers of the Supreme Court. The proposed law, introduced by the ruling far-right coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has sparked massive protests across Israel and raised concerns among foreign allies about the state of democracy there. Israeli protesters blocked highways yesterday, Tuesday, and briefly gathered at the stock exchange during "Day of Disruptions."
