MKHAIBEH, JORDAN- MARCH 14: Disused parts of the Hejaz Railway seen on March 14, 2007 in Mkhaibeh Jordan. The railway is part of a broad regional collaboration project the Israeli government has approved, including the creation of a railway linking Jordan to the northern Israeli port of Haifa. Built by over 10,000 Turkish soldiers directed by German engineer Heinrich Meissner, the railway was originally conceived as a means to transport Muslim pilgrims from Istanbul to Medina in Saudi Arabia. The line was completed in 1908 but was severely damaged during the First World War. Only small sections of the route are still in operation with vast sections left abandoned.

President of the Israeli Supreme Court Esther Hayut and all fifteen judges assemble to hear petitions against the 'reasonableness clause' at the court premises in Jerusalem, on September 12, 2023. The petitions call to strike down the clause passed by Israel's hardline government through parliament in July, a major element of a controversial judicial overhaul that has triggered mass protests and divided the nation. The amendment limits the powers of the top court to review and sometimes overturn government decisions, which opponents say paves the way to authoritarianism.
