Israel-Gaza war live updates: Israel’s high court rejects judicial overhaul law; U.S. carrier group to exit region

Israel’s Supreme Court struck down a law that would have limited its power over government decisions, thwarting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul plan — which sparked mass protests last year — and putting the country on the verge of a constitutional crisis. The U.S. 6th Fleet announced that the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group, one of two such groups deployed to the Middle East for deterrence after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, is leaving the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
