Threats to Supreme Court test Israel's democracy

FILE – In this August 19, 2015 file photo, Mazoza Allan, left, and Amid Allan, mother and brother of Mohammed Allan, a Palestinian prisoner on hunger strike, wait outside Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon, Israel. Mohammed Allan, held without charge by Israel, ended his two-month-long hunger strike a day after Israel’s Supreme Court suspended his detention. The court, widely seen as a guardian of the country’s founding democratic principles, is facing fierce pressure from political hard-liners who are challenging what they see as the court’s overreach and liberal slant.
