Israel parliament defies protests to pass law tightening grip over judges
Thu, 27 Mar 2025 17:35:11 GMT
Opposition parties say political control of appointments will make judges subject to politicians and undermine democracy
Israel’s parliament has passed a law expanding elected officials’ power to appoint judges, in defiance of a years-long protest against Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempts to drive through judicial changes.
The approval of the bill, which opposition parties say will make judges subject to the will of politicians, comes as Netanyahu’s government is locked in a standoff with the supreme court over its attempts to dismiss the attorney general, Gali Baharav-Miara and Ronen Bar, the head of the internal security agency.

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 22:46:21 GMT
Three-judge panel votes 2-1 to uphold original decision by James Boasberg, with Trump appointee dissenting
A US appeals court has upheld a lower court’s temporary block on the Trump administration’s deportation of some Venezuelan immigrants under a little-used 18th-century law.
The decision on Wednesday by the US circuit court of appeals for the DC circuit marks a defeat for Donald Trump, who argued that a judge’s two-week ban on deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act encroached on the executive’s authority to make national security decisions.

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 17:50:44 GMT
Pam Bondi suggests there would be no inquiry into the leaked Signal communications about airstrikes in Yemen, New York Times reports
Top aides to Joe Biden “aggressively” warned Democratic donors last summer that if the then president was forced out of the 2024 election over concerns about his age and fitness, the party would inevitably make the “mistake” of running the vice-president, Kamala Harris, against Donald Trump, a new book says.
“One donor on the receiving end of an electronic message summed up the sentiments of Biden’s top aides: ‘They were aggressively saying that we would wind up with the vice-president and that would be a mistake.’”
