Israel Cabinet Defies Supreme Court Ruling

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet voted to disobey a Supreme Court ruling on the country's broadcast regulator, deepening a constitutional crisis.

Opposition leaders and President Isaac Herzog condemned the move, warning it could lead to anarchy.

The government says it is not seeking a constitutional crisis, but critics argue the defiance undermines the rule of law ahead of national elections.

The standoff reignites the judicial row that shook Israel before the October 7 attack.
