The legislation revamps the committee that picks judges, including Supreme Court justices, in a way that critics say will politicize the bench. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The law marked the resumption of a two-year effort by Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s coalition to expand its control over other branches of government. Before the Hamas-led attack in October 2023 ignited the war in Gaza, Mr. Netanyahu had attempted similar legislation in the face of mass protests. He suspended the push to preserve wartime unity. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now, Mr. Netanyahu has returned to the judicial overhaul, along with simultaneous efforts to weaken other state watchdogs. He is trying to fire both the attorney general and the head of the domestic intelligence service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The laws that passed on Thursday were less far-reaching than the coalition\u2019s initial proposals. But they nonetheless threatened to reignite the uproar that swept the country before the war, even as Israel and Hamas are engaging in a new fighting in Gaza. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Crowds of protesters rallied outside the Knesset in Jerusalem on Wednesday to demonstrate against the legislation, waving Israeli flags. But in a sign of how the war has split the priorities of Mr. Netanyahu\u2019s opponents, many showed up carrying signs calling for the government to reach an immediate deal with Hamas to free the hostages in Gaza. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Inside the Parliament building, Mr. Netanyahu gave a fiery address in which he contended that his government\u2019s policies would serve as a long-needed corrective to an unelected \u201cdeep state,\u201d echoing rhetoric used by President Donald J. Trump. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
