- The plan includes passing a law that will allow the governing coalition to override Supreme Court rulings by a simple majority of 61 votes in the 120-member Knesset.The coalition will also seek to change the law that defines the system of appointing judges by giving the government and the coalition in parliament a majority on the appointment committee, according to Levin's plan.State of play: Senior Israeli legal experts and former and current Supreme Court judges see the plan as a way for the government to significantly weaken the country's highest court by harming its independence and effectively rendering it irrelevant.- Experts say the implementation of the plan will end the separation between the different branches of power and will eliminate the ability of the judicial branch to do the checks and balances against the executive and legislative branches, which are both controlled by the governing coalition.- On Friday, former Supreme Court chief justice Aaron Barak, Israel’s most well-known and internationally respected jurist, told Israeli media that the government plan is similar to a "military coup with tanks.""
