Netanyahu govt has 'attacked' Israeli judicial system, Supreme Court and democratic institutions
Professor Alain Greilsammer warns Netanyahu's government is transforming Israel into an authoritarian state through attacks on judicial independence and democratic institutions.
Professor Alain Greilsammer of Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv warns that Netanyahu's government has fundamentally attacked Israel's judicial system, Supreme Court, and democratic institutions. These policies, he argues, risk transforming Israel into 'something like an authoritarian or non-democratic state.'
In the wake of the October 7 attacks and regional tensions with Iran, Greilsammer suggests the upcoming election will be shaped by concerns over democratic accountability and judicial independence. He also highlights the unequal distribution of civic obligations as a critical issue.

Election dynamics
The professor suggests that Israel's Arab political parties could play a decisive role in determining the election's outcome, reflecting the deepening domestic divisions in the country.
