The proposed 'Override Clause' would grant the Knesset the authority to override judicial decision with a simple majority of 61 Members of Knesset. In Israel, any coalition government has by default 61 members. Therefore, any government would have the ability to override judicial decisions, affectively eliminating judicial review of legislation by the Court. Since in Israel’s parliamentary system the executive branch controls the legislative branch, the elimination of judicial review would remove the most significant checks and balances on the government.
