Ben Gabir against Netanyahu

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gabir responded today (Thursday) to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s announcement in the American newspaper “Wall Street Journal” about the continued promotion of the legal revolution without the termination clause. According to him, “Surrendering to those who burn the Ayalon and call for civil riots is a victory for violence and a loss for Israel.”

Ben Gvir added that the government was elected “to bring governance and change, reform is a cornerstone of this promise. Changing the composition of the committee for the selection of judges, the superseding clause and reducing the authority of the ombudsmen are necessary.” The public to rule.”

The Minister of Jerusalem and Israel’s Traditions, Meir Parosh , also responded to the Prime Minister’s statement, calling the decision “a bad idea”, and warned that “any other agreement is unacceptable” to the members of his party. “Two weeks ago, at a meeting with the Prime Minister in the presence of Ministers Levin, Amsalem and the Cabinet Secretary, I warned against this wrong idea, and I demanded on behalf of Torah Judaism that the amendment to the issue of conscription include the implementation of the three signed commitments: the Basic Torah Study Law, the Act on Overcoming and the amendment of the Security Service Law, accordingly.” explained.

Today, Prime Minister Netanyahu said in an interview with the American newspaper “Wall Street Journal” that he will continue to promote the legal revolution, but removed from the legislation the issue of the superseding clause. The prime minister also clarified in the interview that “the procedure for selecting judges will not continue as it is today, but it will also not be as in the original proposal of the legal reform.”

MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud) also commented on the matter in an interview with Tel Shalev and Nisim Mashal on 103FM and said that he thinks that “at least in some things lessons have been learned” from the first attempt at legislation, and that “the versions that will reach the plenary will be much more moderate in the issues that could have been reached to the consensus of at least 80, if not more, members of the Knesset.”
