A bill that would limit the control of the Supreme Court over the government was approved on Tuesday, July 4, in the Constitutional Committee of the Israeli Parliament.

Protests have been going on across the country for 6 months against the judicial regulation of the Netanyahu government and other right-wing policies. (AA)
