Summary

This AI summary is generated by Microsoft Edge Copilot:

Here are the key points from the page:

- **Lack of Constitution**: Israel does not have a formal constitution. Instead, it is governed by Basic Laws, which can be passed by a supermajority in the Knesset.
- **Judicial Reform Crisis**: The 2023 judicial reform highlighted the need for a constitution to clearly delineate the powers of different branches of government.
- **National Identity in Flux**: Israel's founders chose the Basic Laws approach due to the country's evolving national identity and uncertain borders.
- **Call for a Constitution**: After 75 years, there is a push for a conventional constitution to provide stability and address issues like the dual character of Jewishness and democracy.
