An expanded nine justice panel of the High Court of Justice ruled on Monday to recognize conversions by the Reform and Masorti (Conservative) movements in Israel for the purposes of citizenship, ending a 15-year legal saga.
The decision set off a firestorm of criticism from Orthodox
political parties who vowed to pass legislation to overturn the ruling
and threatened not to enter any coalition without promises to do so,
while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party also denounced the ruling.
