Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar have unveiled a new package of changes to the judicial system in Israel, increasing politicians' power over judicial appointments and limiting the High Court's ability to strike down legislation. The package is seen as a compromise compared to previous measures that sparked protests in 2023. The High Court has given the state until the end of January to explain its plans to maximize Haredi enlistment to the Israel Defense Forces and penalize draft dodgers. The court is frustrated with the government's lack of action on this issue.
