Israel's government will be under intense pressure to provide unpopular concessions to its far-right members, potentially leading to its collapse and its replacement with a center-right government more likely to negotiate concessions with the Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is facing multiple pressures that risk pulling it apart as the coalition's far-right, religious and center-right elements push for competing policies. On Jan. 1, the country's Supreme Court overturned the government's signature judicial reform , annulling the so-called "reasonableness law" that had reshaped the legal doctrine judges were allowed to draw upon to make rulings. This setback sparked a backlash from the ruling coalition's far-right elements, who demanded that the government take up the judicial reform process again despite the ongoing war in Gaza, and despite the reforms' widespread unpopularity among the Israeli public.
