For those unaware, Israel’s new government seeks to redefine the powers of the Israeli Supreme Court allowing, among other things, a simple majority of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) to overturn its rulings. For some, this is needed to correct a court that has progressed too far to the left and is out of touch with the needs of the people. For others, it is the beginning of the end of Israel’s democracy, giving too much power to its legislative body. I pray that the truth is somewhere in the middle.
