Title: Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak Warns of Mandatory Refusals if Legal Revolution Continues
Date: [Insert date]
Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak expressed his concerns during an interview with “Shesh Am” last night, stating that if the current legislation on legal reform continues unchecked, refusals will not only become legitimate but even mandatory. Barak also explicitly called out refusals within the ranks of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Barak’s comments come in response to the recent approval by the Constitution Committee for the first reading of a bill that aims to redefine the standard of reasonableness. This initial approval often paves the way for subsequent readings and potential enactment. Regarding this development, Barak asserted, “This is an alarm signal, a true alarm for the whole country. I expect that on this day, pilots, military personnel, and everyone else will say, ‘Netanyahu, be careful. As soon as you try to turn the first reading into a state law, we will not serve a dictatorship, period.'”
Approximately a month ago, Barak joined a protest in Haifa, where he called for escalated measures against what he referred to as the “legal revolution” and advocated for civil unrest. He stressed the need to halt negotiations immediately and increase peaceful demonstrations. “Nonviolent civil disobedience. I call on the citizens of Israel to prepare to act, and when the call comes, to respond to it. We will fight, and we are not afraid of anyone or anything,” Barak emphasized.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak has been a prominent figure in opposing the legal revolution. With his latest warnings and calls for action, it is clear that he believes the current direction of legislation poses a serious threat to the democratic principles of the country.
