The uproar over Netanyahu's legal overhaul has plunged Israel into one of its worst domestic crises. Beyond the protests, which have drawn tens of thousands of Israelis to the streets and recently became violent, the opposition has surged from across society, with business leaders and legal officials speaking out against the dangers of the plan. The rift has not spared Israel's military, which is seeing unprecedented opposition from within its own ranks.
