Israel and Same-Sex Marriage

Interesting. Israel's Supreme Court has decided that the Israeli government has to recognize same-sex marriages of Israelis performed abroad. As Israel doesn't have civil marriages, this would seem to be as far as the state could go in supporting same-sex marriages. That said, Israel also doesn't have a binding constitution, so if the parliament does not like this decision, presumably they could reverse it.
