Yariv Levin, the Minister of Justice, rallied his supporters at a ‘Keblat Shabbat’ ceremony held in front of his house, declaring that he will not give up in his fight for legal reform. Dozens of supporters came to show their love and sympathy for Levin and to encourage him to continue with his efforts.
During the ceremony, Levin spoke passionately about the importance of the fight for legal reform, stating, “This fight is much more than a fight for a change in the legal system – it is a fight for our ability to lead a real Jewish and democratic life here.” He expressed his gratitude to his supporters for standing by him and vowed to continue the battle.
The festive Shabbat reception was attended by prominent figures such as Gadi Taub, Arel Segal, and Barla Crombie. They joined supporters from all over the country to show their solidarity with Levin and his neighbors, who have faced harassment from extreme left organizations and anarchists for the past six months. The attendees pledged to continue supporting Levin in his mission to promote important legal reforms.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent announcement of a softened outline for the legal reform, without the previously promised escalation clause, has caused discontent among coalition members and the public. However, Levin’s supporters remain undeterred and have expressed their unwavering belief in his cause.
Levin addressed the audience and thanked them for their support, stating, “It is not obvious and it is really exciting and warms the heart.” He acknowledged the challenges they face, noting the lack of financial resources and media support compared to their opponents. Nevertheless, he maintained his determination to persevere, emphasizing that they cannot be defeated.
The support for Levin demonstrates the resilience and determination of his followers, who firmly believe in the importance of legal reform and its role in safeguarding a real Jewish and democratic life in Israel.
