The role of the Kohelet Policy Forum in Israel's controversial judicial overhaul has shown the far-reaching political influence of the once obscure think tank.
TEL AVIV — When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power last year, he never mentioned plans to overhaul the country’s judiciary.

The think tank has succeeded, Israeli legislative observers say, partly because of chronic understaffing in the Knesset, where ministers eagerly accept prepared research and draft bills from outside organizations. Netanyahu clinched a parliamentary majority in November elections, but when centrist partners boycotted his coalition over his ongoing corruption trial, he was forced to strike costly agreements with ultranationalist parties dominated by far-right settlers in the occupied West Bank.
