Herzog’s judicial reform negotiations fail BY DAVID SAFFER
President Isaac Herzog’s efforts to avoid a “constitutional crisis” over judicial reform has failed after government and opposition politicians rejected his latest bid to broker a compromise proposal. Anti-government protests have been ongoing for 36 weeks. According to a Channel 12 report, Herzog met with politicians across the political divide and secured consent from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s representatives for his proposal. Herzog will continue to find a resolution. A statement from Herzog’s

Residence confirmed: “In recent weeks, the president has made particular efforts to prevent a constitutional crisis and to bring about a solution that will preserve democracy and unity among the Israeli people. As part of those efforts, the president has held talks with coalition and opposition leaders with a goal of bringing about dialogue that might lead to broad agreements. It will be stressed that no agreements have been made and the president will continue his efforts.” Netanyahu on Tuesday night called on National Unity party leader Benny Gantz for talks yesterday

to try reach an agreement. He noted: “(The nation) wants us to reach agreements. But in order to reach agreements, one simple thing must be done, put aside all the prerequisites, all the obstacles, enter the room and talk.” According to reports Gantz described dialogue as spin. He blamed Netanyahu and his ‘allies’ for dragging Israeli into the “worst crisis in its history”. Justice Minister Yair Levin dismissed the framework as “impossible” and the Yesh Atid party claimed Netanyahu was stalling. The Religious Zionist Party are committed to compromises but
will not capitulate to a ‘radical’ minority. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant called for consensus for the security of the State of Israel, noting, “The citizens of Israel and the IDF need unity. Now is the time to put aside our differences and to find what we have in common, and what unites us.” Three hearings related to the government’s judicial reform plans come before the High Court of Justice in the coming weeks. Worryingly, as recent months have shown it is debatable whether a lasting breakthrough will be forthcoming.
