Two retired soldiers stole a tank in Israel
According to a written statement by the Israeli police, a report has come in that a scrap tank was stolen from the Six-Day War memorial site in the occupied Golan Heights.
The tank, which police units found loaded on a truck near the area where the report was made, was reportedly “detected as stolen for protest purposes” without permission.
It was reported that the people who used the truck in which the tank was loaded were taken to the police station for their statement.
In photos released by the Israeli police, it was shared that “democracy” was written in Hebrew on the back of the tank and Israel’s declaration of independence was hung on the tank.
According to Israeli press reports, two retired Israeli soldiers, ages 68 and 67, who carried out the action, loaded the tank onto a truck and transported it some 40 kilometers.
It was recorded that the people who carried out the action were two retired soldiers who served in the armored units in the 1973 war in Israel.
NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT “JUDICIAL REFORM”
Yariv Levin, the Minister of Justice in the government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, announced on January 5 that they were planning a law that would limit the powers of the Supreme Court and reduce the influence of the judiciary in the selection of judges.
The coalition government’s moves to transfer some of the powers of the judiciary to Parliament sparked tensions between the government and the Israeli judiciary, especially the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court, which acts as the country’s highest judicial authority, has the power to repeal laws passed by the Assembly in cases it considers contrary to “fundamental laws”, which are considered “semi-constitutional”.
The judicial arrangement announced by the Netanyahu government includes stripping the Supreme Court of the power to overturn laws passed by the Assembly and changing the number of members of the Nominating Committee, which is authorized to appoint judges, in favor of the government.
Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara put forward his written objections to the government’s judicial regulation, stating that his concerns centered on the deterioration of the “separation of powers, the independence of the judiciary and the protection of individual rights.” “. (AA)
