Reliability Tier2
A wire service report from the Associated Press, a global news agency whose foreign political reporting is widely relied upon and cross-published, read here via The Times of Israel; the story reports a signed legal text's specific provisions, quoting a constitutional law expert who served on the drafting committee, rather than offering its own analysis of them.
