Judicial overhaul champion Rothman says Netanyahu trial motivated him to join politics

The article from MSN discusses how Simcha Rothman, a key figure in Israel's judicial overhaul, was motivated to enter politics due to his dissatisfaction with the legal proceedings against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Rothman, who chairs the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, has been a vocal proponent for changes in the judicial system, arguing that the current system lacks balance and fairness. His involvement in politics was spurred by his belief that Netanyahu's trial was politically motivated, aiming to remove a democratically elected leader. Rothman's efforts are part of a broader initiative by Netanyahu's coalition to reduce the power of the judiciary, which has sparked significant controversy and protests across Israel. Critics argue that these reforms threaten the independence of the judiciary and could lead to authoritarian governance, while supporters like Rothman see it as a necessary correction to an overreaching judicial branch.
