Israeli Cabinet Moves to Defy Supreme Court Ruling, Escalating Netanyahu-Judiciary Clash

A cabinet resolution in Israel signaled a willingness to disregard a Supreme Court decision. The move deepened the ongoing power struggle between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the judiciary. The disputed ruling concerned the court's authority over government actions. Netanyahu’s allies framed the resolution as a defense of democratic governance. Critics argued it threatened the rule of law and judicial independence. After the announcement, a senior government official publicly softened the stance. The official said the earlier language would be reconsidered. Observers await further clarification on how Israel will respond to the court order.
