Protests erupted in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on Monday evening and early Tuesday, July 24-25, 2023, over Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his government's decision to curb the powers of Israel's supreme court.

As the Opposition walked out of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, the government passed the contentious bill that limits the supreme court's powers to void some government decisions 64-0.
