Israel‘s Medical Association Begins 24-hour Strike Over Judicial Overhaul

Israel‘s Medical Association began a 24-hour strike on Tuesday, after the Netanyahu-led coalition passed a controversial bill revoking the Supreme Court‘s authority to overturn government decisions deemed unreasonable on Monday afternoon.

As a result of the strike, hospitals across Israel are operating in „Shabbat mode,“ or on a weekend schedule, which includes emergency care only.
