What it means
A government declaring intent to defy its own Supreme Court has historically been associated with currency weakness and pressure on domestic equities, as investors price in elevated institutional and governance risk. Israel has experienced similar dynamics during the 2023 judicial overhaul protests, when the shekel and TA-35 both sold off on rule-of-law concerns. The severity of the market reaction will depend on whether this remains a political standoff or escalates into a genuine constitutional breakdown.
