The difference being that other parliamentary systems have many more checks and balances, whereas Israel only has just one: the supreme court. Removing or "limiting" it is akin to making Israel a de facto dictatorship.
- nradov 3y agoWhich checks and balances do other parliamentary systems have?
- LeoNatan25 3y agoA constitution, a supermajority requirement for passing/changing “base laws” and/or constitutional amendments, multiple chambers of legislature, etc. none of that exists in Israel. The parliament and the elected government is one and the same, there is no constitution and “base laws” can pass with a simple majority. The only judicial check on these laws is the supreme court.
