On 24 July, 2023, Israel’s parliament approved a bill for judicial reforms that have been met with widespread protests.<\/a> The law would limit the Supreme Court’s power to strike down government decisions and has been criticized by those who fear it would undermine the independence of the judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The protests against judicial reform began in January 2023<\/strong>, shortly after the government announced the proposed amendments. On 11 January, the first protest was held in Tel Aviv, and thousands of people showed up.<\/a> Since then, demonstrations have taken place every week in Israel’s largest cities. Despite the government’s efforts to suppress them, the protests have persisted. Police detained numerous protest organizers in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
