Israel’s parliament passed a law expanding elected officials’ power to appoint judges despite opposition protests. The bill increases political control over judicial appointments, altering the current nine-member committee. Critics argue this undermines democracy, while Justice Minister Yariv Levin claims it restores the balance between branches. Passing the law intensifies confrontations with the Supreme Court, particularly over Netanyahu’s efforts to fire central officials such as the attorney general and head of Shin Bet.
Pray for the end of political strife and division in Israel. Pray for justice, peace, and righteousness to prevail in the nation. Pray for a fair and transparent judicial and political system in the country (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 21:3).
Pray for the oneness of mind and unity among the Israeli authorities. Pray for the Israeli authorities to uphold the values of democracy in the country (The Holy Bible, Psalm 82:3).
