Israel has accepted legal guarantees despite the protests

Despite nationwide opposition to the move, Israeli lawmakers adopted the law decriminalising the country's court.

The statute eliminates the Supreme Court's ability to overturn governmental decisions it considers improper.

This is the first of several contentious amendments intended to limit the influence of the courts that have been approved.

The biggest demonstrations in Israel's history have been held against the planned changes, and the opposition has warned that they constitute a threat to Israel's status as a democratic state.

The administration claims that the actions are required to address a power imbalance that has resulted in the courts interfering with political decisions more and more in recent years.
