Summary/Abstract: This article conducts a comparative analysis of the political and legal systems of three democratic nations—Poland, Hungary, and Israel—specifically exploring changes within their intergovernmental relationships. Originating from doctoral research on the legislative and judicial dynamics in Israel, the study delves into the challenges posed by populism in these countries and examines the role of the European Union (EU) as a potential umbrella organization. The article scrutinizes the response of EU systems to shifts within the political landscapes of Poland, Hungary, and Israel. Additionally, it addresses the intricate relationship between populist parties and the legal system, grappling with these issues through a combination of substantive and procedural approaches. The research aims to contribute insights into the impact of populism on democratic structures and the EU's efficacy in navigating these complexities within its member states.
