Reasonableness Standard Bill in Israele. Soluzione o involuzione?

With 64 votes in favor and no opposing votes - following the departure of the opposition from the session as a sign of protest - on July 24th, the Israeli Knesset approved the initial segment of the highly contentious judicial reform, curtailing the Supreme Court's use of the “reasonableness” test as a ground for intervening on administrative decisions and governmental appointments. The Israeli parliamentary majority, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserts that the amendment represents an initial pivotal stride toward a judicial reform aimed at limiting the activism of the Court's judges. Conversely, critics of the reform - hundreds of thousands of whom have taken to the streets over the past 30 weeks, engendering a protest of unprecedented magnitude in the country's history - contend that the text signifies the initial phase of a reform that will dismantle crucial and well-established mechanisms of oversight and equilibrium.
