These cries are alarmist, hyperbolic, and simply lacking in historical context. The new government’s judicial reform proposal has three key elements. The most important would give the Israeli Supreme Court explicit statutory authorization to overturn legislation, while also preserving the Knesset’s authority to legislate. A second element would slightly modify Israel’s existing process for appointing judges by a committee of public officials and sitting judges by adding more elected representatives to the committee....

It was confirmed on Monday that Williamson, the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and one of the most hyped prospects to ever enter the NBA, is expected to make his regular-season debut next week against the San Antonio Spurs. A knee injury has kept the teenager sidelined since preseason and Ingram, traded to the Pelicans in the offseason as part of the deal which sent Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers, has thrived in his absence....

Australia endured some frustrating moments during their 31-run loss to India in first Test when a few decisions went against the hosts after reviewing the umpires calls. Umpire Nigel Llong had given Ajinkya Rahane out caught at bat-pad for 17 early on Sunday but the decision was overturned on review when replays indicated that the ball had hit the batsman’s front pad outside the line of off stump and missed his bat and gloves....

So this weekend, he upgraded his platform from Twitter to the national anthem. FANTASY FOOTBALL: Top 200 rankings Can you hear him now? Of course you can. Because he’s in the NFL, and the NFL is America, and America is the national anthem, and the NFL has made absolutely sure that in all of your minds, those three will never be separated. The shield, the anthem, the troops, the flag that covers the entire field, the Air Force flyovers, the reciting of the Declaration of Independence before the Super Bowl, the $5 million the government paid the NFL to use them as an ad for the armed forces … they are all attached....

Nadal’s 2018 season was impacted by injury, with the 17-time grand slam champion completing just one hard-court tournament, while he missed the ATP Finals with an abdominal complaint. The 32-year-old made his first appearance since retiring in the semi-finals of the US Open in September – the Spanish star beaten by Kevin Anderson at the World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi last week. But having arrived for the Brisbane International ahead of the Australian Open in Melbourne, Nadal is ready to put his injury woes behind him....

A flash of white light silhouettes a low range of hills to the south, as bright as a compact camera going off at a few feet. Then, an eerily long time later, comes a sharp thud and a rumble that resonates in the tower on which we are standing. A Tomahawk, says someone: that has to be a Tomahawk. Only a cruise missile can make the ground shake like that, 20 miles away....

On the eve of the anniversaries of Hezbollah’s deadly bomb attacks on the AMIA Jewish community center in Argentina in 1994 and an Israeli tourist bus in Bulgaria in 2012, the lawmakers sent a powerful Transatlantic Declaration to EU leaders, rejecting the fictional distinction the EU created seven years ago when it designated only Hezbollah’s so-called “military” arm. This fiction has allowed the Shiite terror group to continue operating in Europe in support of its so-called “political” arm....

The sheriff and a few other officers were in pursuit of a fleeing suspect just before the shooting. To escape the police, the suspect ran onto Amy Corbitt’s property, where six children including her own were playing, two of them under the age of three.

England international Winks was a young prospect at White Hart Lane when Modric was turning out for the London club, before he left to join Madrid in 2012 – and went on to win three Champions League titles. And it was in Europe’s premier competition on Tuesday where the two went head-to-head, with Winks impressing before lauding his 32-year-old opponent. “When I was coming through the academy at a young age, he was someone I always used to watch at White Hart Lane,” said Winks, who is 11 years Modric’s junior....

All fixtures on the final day of the Premier League will kick off on Sunday at 15:00 local time, with United having just two days of rest before meeting Ajax in Stockholm. Confirming that a raft of academy players will play at Old Trafford this weekend, Mourinho said: “I hope that Big Sam [Allardyce] shows he’s a good friend and he goes slow. He tells [Wilfried] Zaha to go slow, he leaves [Christian] Benteke at home....

Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position in the 2012 Italian Grand Prix. He was followed up by his teammate Jenson Button in a complete front row lockout for the Mclaren team.

Ferrari had a mixed day with Felipe Massa qualifying in P3, while a problem with Fernando’s car on his last run meant that he ended up P10....

ATK didn’t have the best of the starts to the season but have been on the rise lately. Guwahati has been a happy hunting ground for the two-time champions in the past, and they wanted to keep that same record going. Both the sides cautiously started the game, and it was evident from the very beginning that none of the teams wanted to lose the game. The first half ended with the scoreboard reading nil-nil....

Three injury-time goals found Chennaiyin on the right side of a 2-1 result against Hyderabad, with Nerijus Valskis and Andre Schembri among the goals. John Gregory will hope that his team can use that win as the springboard for a better show, as 13 games remain in the league season, and no one really out of contention yet. Odisha, meanwhile, could have considered themselves a little unlucky not to win against ATK on Sunday, as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw in Pune, even as Josep Gombau’s side definitely had the better chances in the game....

It was a crucial encounter for ATK Mohun Bagan, who were third in the ISL points table. Odisha FC were placed in seventh position before kickoff. It was a must-win game for the Mariners as they were in contention for the league winner’s shield. A slip-up would give their competitors an advantage.

The match started on a bright note for Odisha FC as Redeem Tlang gave them the lead in the fifth minute....

Bachelet said that rockets are indiscriminate between military and civilians and that their use “constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law.” She added Hamas would also be guilty, saying that “the actions of one party do not absolve the other from its obligations under international law.” Shahar’s responded by saying Hamas, a designated terrorist organization by the U.S. and its allies, had 4,400 fired rockets at Israeli civilians. “Each one of these rockets constitutes a war crime....

Sagi’s fortune is worth around £1.5 billion, as per Forbes, and he would pay off the club’s debt of £38 milion following their relegation from the Premier League in the 2012/13 season. The Israeli billionaire is said to be a Chelsea fan with a corporate box at Stamford Bridge. Last week Sagi was spotted flying into the Madejski Stadium in his helicopter, and if the acquistion is completed it appears as a real estate opportunity for Teddy Sagi....

South Africa were all out for 275, with Maharaj scoring 72 and Philander contributing with an unbeaten 44. “Look, from the guys at the top of the order, entrusted with scoring the bulk of the runs, it does kind of hurt. It does dent your ego when they (lower-order) seem to know how to go out and fight it out to do what you’re really playing to do,” Bavuma added after the day’s play....
