Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar have proposed changes to Israel's judicial system that would increase political power over judicial appointments and limit the High Court's ability to strike down legislation. The proposal is a softened version of Levin's previous attempt to overhaul the judiciary. Opposition leaders have not yet responded to the proposal, while some have criticized it for politicizing the judiciary. The proposal would increase the power of the opposition to block judicial appointments but would also allow the committee to become more politicized. The proposal also includes giving more heft to Israel's Basic Laws and reducing the High Court's oversight powers over regular legislation.
