Basically. The Israeli system requires that a government will have a simple majority to assume power after an election. So by giving the Kneset the ability to ignore the supreme court with a simple majority basically strips the court of its power.

He's also pushing for politicians to have majority power in the selection of judges, right now they do not have large influence on the process.

He's also trying to make the process by which the supreme court can bring legislation to question harder, by requiring a majority of 12 out of 15 judges to initiate.

In some ways it brings the system somewhere closer to the usa system, but the big difference is that the ruling government always has majority of the house in Israel.

Many are "volunteered" without their knowledge. My dad got caught up in one of those schemes, and they basically excused it with saying they didn't wanna bother him with the paperwork where he asks to volunteer, so they just filed it for him an told him to show up for more days than he was supposed to.

Very few actually volunteer on purpose.

They volunteer for more days than what is mandatory

But we all know ignorance make you more easily manipulable. Having a "popular majority" (which is also not the case in this highly fractured parlamentarian country) does not gives anyone the right to break the 3-powers balance, which is what he is doing. So, using voters' support as a shield from his own legal problems is not democratic at all.

Even if he had +50% of the population on his side (which he doesn't), it would be anti-democratic to diminish the institutions and processes that make democracy possible.

So TLDR he's trying to make it so that he can get the Knesset to get him off the hook for corruption charges?

The way governing coalitions are formed in the Knesset is wild. Read up on it and you'll wonder how they ever get anything done, but no he and his party didn't get anything close to a popular majority.
