Israel's Parliament Advances Bill That Allows For The Overturning Of Supreme Court Decisions

 On Wednesday the Parliament of Israel advanced the bill that would allow for the Parliament to overturn Israel's Supreme Court decisions with a majority vote in the Parliament. This bill would limit the authority of the Supreme Court of Israel and allow the Parliament to decide what will stand or what will fail in the court. The bills face committee approval after winning in the parliament 61-52. Critics of the imposed law claim it will erode and destroy the democracy of Israel and will get rid of the checks and balances system that is currently in place. The imposed haw has gained foreign and domestic opposition because of the law's nature of overthrowing the Supreme Court and giving complete power of the law to the Parliament.
