In a shocking turn of events, senior members of the Ecclesiastical Forum have voiced opposition to the continuation of the legal revolution in Israel. The organization, which played a significant role in laying the foundation for legal reform, now believes that the legislation should be stopped immediately. The surprising position was revealed during recent meetings with ministers, members of the Knesset, and other right-wing figures.
Notably, the Ecclesiastical Forum raised concerns about the harm caused by the ongoing legal revolution. They argued that the people are deeply divided, the military and society are being negatively impacted, and that immediate action should be taken to alleviate the situation. Some members even criticized Minister Levin for his uncompromising approach, which they believe hindered progress in the judicial system.
The news of this internal opposition comes shortly after the announcement that the main donor of Kehalat, Arthur Danchik, a prominent American billionaire, has ceased financial support for the organization. The decision to halt funding raises questions about its potential influence on the Ecclesiastical Forum’s surprising stance. However, the details regarding whether the donation was stopped before or after the forum’s opinion was known remain unclear.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in one of his recent interviews with foreign media, stated that he intends to proceed with the next phase of the legal revolution – changing the composition of the committee for the selection of judges. Netanyahu believes that once this change is implemented, further legislative actions should cease. While acknowledging the need for balance, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of restoring equilibrium in a legal system that has been described as one of the most activist courts globally.
In response to a conditional order issued by the High Court of Justice judges in relation to the “Restrictions Law,” the heads of the coalition parties released a joint announcement. They criticized the court’s authority to cancel fundamental laws and expressed concern that such a decision undermines the democratic foundation of the country. This statement followed the judges’ order, which required the government to justify why the application of the law should not be postponed.
The conditional order regarding the “Fortresses Law” signifies a potential step towards a decision, albeit not an immediate invalidation of the law. The state has been given until mid-September to respond, after which an expanded panel of 11 judges will hear the petition. The decision to issue the conditional order raised speculations about the law’s connection to Prime Minister Netanyahu.
As Israel grapples with internal divisions and legal debates, the surprising opposition from the Ecclesiastical Forum highlights the complexity surrounding the continued legal revolution. The shifting dynamics, criticism towards key figures, and withdrawal of financial support add to the uncertainty prevailing within the nation. The eventual outcome and its impact on the judicial system and Israeli society remain to be seen.
