Hundreds of Israelis from both sides of the political divide gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sunday morning for a mass prayer event, as parliament advanced a much-debated bill to limit the Supreme Court’s use of the so-called reasonableness standard.
Sunday’s prayer rally was attended by prominent religious Zionist rabbis, including those who support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial reform proposals, leaders in the anti-reform protest movement, as well as opposition politicians, most notably National Unity Party Knesset member Benny Gantz.
