Mass protests grip Israel as government pushes forward with controversial judicial overhaul

The Israeli government approved limiting judges' ability to strike down laws, sparking large protests across the country.
Israel's allies, including the US, have expressed concern about the overhaul's impact on democracy and stability in Israel.
Multiple petitions challenging the new laws have been filed to Israel's Supreme Court, with key hearings scheduled for September.
Critics argue the overhaul threatens democracy and the rule of law, while supporters say it restores balance between branches of government.
The reforms have exposed deep divisions in Israeli society and created economic uncertainty, with some investors looking to pull funds from the country.
