UK Criticism of Israel Constitutional 'Reform' Proposals
We are lawyers and legal academics from the UK who are concerned about the content of proposed reforms to Israel’s constitutional structure and institutions. We fear that these will undermine democratic rights, the rule of law, the separation of powers, the independence of the judiciary and human rights. These reforms would move Israel away from democracy and towards legal autocracy.
