Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that the prime minister is working to “exhaust every possibility to reach a national consensus” concerning the government’s judicial reform plan, after National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir rejected a reported outline being formulated at the President’s Residence on Monday.
“If such an agreement is reached, no one will prevent its implementation,” stressed Netanyahu.
Ben-Gvir rejects compromise on judicial reform
Ben-Gvir stated that while he supports talks, he is against the reported outline, calling the outline a “surrender.”
“I am in favor of negotiations, but against surrender. The reform is important for the State of Israel, it will balance the three authorities – the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary,” said Ben-Gvir.
“Folding in the President’s Residence means humiliating more than half of the nation. Folding in the President’s Residence means a violation of right-wing values. Otzma Yehudit will not give its hand to this folding. I call on my friends, the heads of the coalition, to make your voice heard, let’s go against the folding and surrendering.”
