Israel’s Supreme Court is having a busy month hearing challenges to actions by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Judicial reform has not gone the way the government hoped, with the Supreme Court taking the opportunity to secure even more power, observers tell JNS.

The Attorney-General's Office had warned Netanyahu earlier in the year that his involvement in the judicial reform violated the conflict of interest agreement.

The Supreme Court hearing on September 28th, 2023 will focus on the question of whether the amendment should be interpreted as being valid only in the future, to remedy the perception of personal benefit for the current prime minister.

This specific amendment is not a limitation placed upon the judiciary’s power of review over acts of the executive. It is indeed the uprooting of this power.
