Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms have sparked widespread protests in Israel and raised concerns among Palestinians. The reforms, which aim to limit the powers of the Supreme Court, have been met with opposition from Israelis who fear the erosion of democracy and human rights. Palestinians, on the other hand, worry that a weakened Supreme Court could lead to an expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and a potential annexation of the territory. The proposed overhaul has been described as a 'judicial coup' by Sawsan Zaher, a Palestinian human rights lawyer.
