They're either draining the swamp or going full gestapo.
Looks like normies who got caught up in the BLM shit over here.
TLDR
Under the standard, Israel’s Supreme Court could scrap executive branch decisions and appointments if deemed “extremely unreasonable.” The standard was last invoked in January after Netanyahu appointed parliamentarian Arye Dery to be a cabinet minister. Dery’s appointment was rejected on the grounds that he had a criminal record, including charges of tax evasion, corruption, bribery, and fraud.
By putting the reasonableness standard to the chopping block, Netanyahu and other members of his ruling Likud party can now appoint or dismiss anyone they’d like without having to answer to the country’s highest court. What that means is that Israel may see a slew of controversial executive branch additions and firings in the coming months, such as potentially sacking Attorney General Gali Baharav Miara. Netanyahu has repeatedly expressed interest in ousting Miara after she said in March that the prime minister had violated a conflict of interest law that forbids him from governing during his corruption trial; Netanyahu has been under investigation since November 2019 over charges of fraud, breach of trust, and bribery—all of which he continues to deny.

For those not familiar with Israel's swamp, according to Gidi Weitz:
Former Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levi wrote in a 2008 minority opinion warning against the normalization of corruption in Israeli politics and stripping the court of its power. Now, a government headed by a criminal defendant is leading Israel down the path of constitutional chaos
This week, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara warned against pressure applied on gatekeepers so they take biased or corrupt decisions. “Voiding the reasonableness clause would critically damage the government’s immune system,” she said.
The truth is that reasonableness is long departed, with a criminally accused prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] supported by the folly of the legislature and sanctified by the Supreme Court. That was the original sin.
