That’s fantastic! Someone is standing up to Netanyahu.

Hope our courts defend our democracy as well

[RiverRokz]

It is hard to believe he is still in charge, he leadership helped set the road to everything that has happened

[MayMarmaid]

Netanyahu wanted to be an authoritarian. Glad for this decision.

[hemihead]

Another one trying to stay out of jail.

[towbar]

He started this aggressive action to save his own butt in the process. One day everyone will know how horribly they have been duped!

[paulstrathern]

Amazing... Israel's supreme court can say 'no' to Netanyahu but the American Congress dares not do the same.

Hope our own SC acts as constitutionally as the Israeli court .

''My name is Dr. Reuven Moscovitz and I'am a Holocaust survivor that cannot live with the fact that the State of Israel is imprisoning an entire people behind fences. It's just immoral. What happened to me in the Holocaust wakes me up every night, and I hope we don't do the same things to our neighbors. I compare what happened to me during the Holocaust to what the besieged Palestinian children are going through.''

Hey Netanyahu supreme court remember you are not a dictator.

Whenever Netty loses, the world wins.

[Arthur-Stringfellow-Jr]

That's the face of a man who has got a big dose of reality.

[haroldharris]

How do the aspirations of Netanyahu and Putin differ? I struggle to find their motives to be dissimilar.

[dmereify]

Fascists thrive on chaos. They should not be allowed to benefit from the chaos they promote and allow.
Those who believe in the value of democracy should defend the institutions that protect democracy and the rule of law.
The current growth of fascism in the US and around the world should not go unchallenged. Dictators and would-be dictators should not be tolerated.

[stephanieadams]

It's about time they put a stop to his unbridled drive for unlimited power. He's a monster. He needs to be stopped.

[alvamarsh]

Many people did not want Netenyahu neither during his first tenure nor his current tenure because he will always push for war

[jamesirwin]

Seems like even the high court thinks he overstepped his authority.

[hisomeonetrackingmuch]

Please please please, WEAKEN NETANYAHU! He needs to go

[mohmedhassan]

In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.,

[johnhuffman]

I am getting a strong sense of buyer's remorse.

[markusmaximus]

Netanyahu, is a bum, on the level of Trump. How do we let these ppl run ?
