In breaking news, the Israeli Supreme Court has delivered a powerful blow to a controversial bill aimed at limiting its own judicial power. This bill was part of the government's plan to overhaul the country's judicial system, and its rejection by the court has stirred quite the controversy.
The ruling itself was a tight decision, with the Supreme Court voting eight to seven against the proposed amendment to a basic law, which serves as Israel's equivalent of a constitution. This amendment sought to strip the Supreme Court of its authority to invalidate government decisions based on the grounds of reasonableness.
