‘Shame!’: security staff eject Knesset members after Israeli judicial changes

Israel’s far-right and ultra-religious government has succeeded in passing a key part of the coalition’s judicial overhaul, seven months after introducing the legislation and despite widespread, sustained opposition from protesters. The bill abolishing the “reasonableness” clause that allows Israel’s unelected supreme court to overrule government decisions was passed into law by a final vote of 64-0 in parliament on Monday. Every member of the coalition voted in favour, while opposition lawmakers abandoned the Knesset plenum in protest. The streets around the parliament building in Jerusalem were thronged with protesters waving blue and white flags
