Israel MPs push on with legal reforms decried as threat to democracy

Description

Israel's parliament takes another step to push forward a legal reform package that has sparked mass protests against the hard-right government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lawmakers in a 3:00 am (0100 GMT) vote approve a bill in first reading that would, among other things, allow the Knesset to scrap Supreme Court rulings with a simple majority vote. IMAGES
