Israel’s Supreme Court has struck down a controversial law passed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government that rolled back some of the high court’s power and sparked nationwide protests.
The new legislation had removed one of the methods by which the Supreme Court can quash government and ministers’ decisions.
The law would have stripped the court of its ability to void such decisions that it deemed “unreasonable”.
Eight of 15 justices ruled in favour of nullifying the law, the court said in a statement.
