Challenges regarding CHIS :

There  is very high degree of ethical challenges like expolitations ,monetary compensation  issues etc . The scope of misadventure is very high in these .

                      Also a well trained and robust system , collaboration with scientist , companies are high .India should use CHIS only to study diseases with safe and effective treatment.

The recently passed Judicial reform bill restricts judiciary review of govt decions or laws made by govt . Now no authority would be able to check any ” unreasonable ” decision of govt .       The bill was passed by a majority of 64 in 120 member knesset .

How will it impact West Bank , Palestine .

It will give current govt to do what they want to do in West Bank , means pushing more settlers in West Bank . And punishing those who are against this move . Israel has two rules for those who live in mainland Israel and for those who are living in occupied territories such as West Bank . The tension between Israel and Palestine will further rise .

                   Mr. Netanyahu may have been able to pass the bill through Knesset but this has made Israel even weaker .
