"Israel Approves Controversial Judicial Reforms Amid Mass Protests; Netanyahu Defends 'Necessary Changes'"

Israel’s Knesset approved a law stripping the Supreme Court’s power to overrule government decisions, marking the first step in PM Netanyahu’s controversial judicial overhaul.

Critics call it a "death blow to democracy", while supporters argue it curbs "judicial overreach."

250,000+ Israelis marched in Tel Aviv, blocking highways and clashing with police.

Military reservists (including Air Force pilots) threatened service suspensions, raising national security concerns.
