Monday’s vote by the Netanyahu government to curtail the Israeli Supreme Court’s authority to overturn the government’s decisions through its “reasonableness standard” is a terrible blow to Israeli democracy and the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians. The decision to unilaterally ram through this key piece of the judicial overhaul, in the face of historic opposition and unprecedented protest from so many corners of Israeli society, plunges Israel into an alarming new phase of civic turmoil and constitutional crisis.

Join JStreet for an emergency “J Stream” briefing to discuss the dangerous impact of Netanyahu’s judicial coup with Prof. Tamar Hostovsky Brandes, Ono Academic College and a member of the Law Professors’ forum for democracy, and Noa Landau, deputy editor-in-chief of Haaretz.
