The approval of the bill, which opposition parties say will make judges subject to the will of politicians, comes as Netanyahu’s government is locked in a standoff with the supreme court over its attempts to dismiss the attorney general, Gali Baharav-Miara and Ronen Bar, the head of the internal security agency.

An Algerian court sentenced French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal to five years in prison on Thursday under anti-terrorism laws.
Sansal, a critic of the Algerian government, was arrested at Algiers Airport last November and charged with "undermining national unity and publishing publications that threaten national security and stability."
France condemned his imprisonment and sentencing.
