Israel Announces War: First Invocation of Article 40 Aleph since 1973

Original article here.


Unprecedented Move By Israel’s Military-Political Cabinet

In a move that has taken the international community by surprise, Israel’s military-political cabinet has voted to invoke Article 40 Aleph, marking an official declaration of war. This bold and dramatic step has not been taken since the 1973 ‘Yom Kippur War’, highlighting the gravity of the current situation.

Backdrop of Tensions: Recent Judiciary Reform Bill

Prior to this unprecedented move, the Israeli political landscape was already in turmoil due to the recent passage of a contentious judiciary reform bill. The bill, which limits the Israeli Supreme Court’s use of the ‘reasonableness test’, has created an atmosphere of legal, security, and economic uncertainty. The reasonableness test is considered a critical check on the government’s actions, and its restriction has sent shockwaves through Israeli society and beyond.

Repercussions on Israeli Economy and International Relations

The passage of the judiciary reform bill has been followed by a downturn in the economy, with stock markets destabilizing and the Israeli shekel weakening. Internationally, tensions are mounting as the United States, a key ally of Israel, has expressed its opposition to the reforms. President Biden has been vocal about his disapproval, which many fear could strain the historically strong ties between the two nations.

What Lies Ahead: Uncertainty and Speculations

The long-term impact of the bill and the invocation of Article 40 Aleph remains uncertain. However, it is clear that both moves have plunged Israel into a period of deep uncertainty. A pro-democracy NGO has already filed an appeal to the Supreme Court against the bill, signaling the start of what could be a lengthy legal battle. As the international community watches with bated breath, the future of Israeli society and its relationship with the United States hangs in the balance.

    This has to be a first: going to court to stop a war after being attacked. Liberals never learn unless they personally have suffered consequences.
