Chairman of the Constitution Committee, MK Simcha Rotmanand the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrichheld a special broadcast today (Tuesday) that dealt with the reform of the judicial system and in which they referred to the details of the plan.
Once and for all: the experts determine whether the legal reform will benefit or harm Israel?
The legal reform laws were approved for the first reading: watch the huge riot in the Constitution Committee
During the broadcast, Smotrich said: “I will not be willing to live one day in a country where the judicial system is weak. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for it. I also have a lot of respect and appreciation for the protesters and demonstrators. We need to show a lot of understanding and listening. We need to try and reach agreements. We know how to manage disputes. We are brothers. I admire people who left everything yesterday and came to demonstrate. And I love these people. There will be a legal system to rob us all of the right to determine the fundamental values on which the State of Israel is founded.”
“There will be no legal system to rob us all of the right to determine the fundamental values upon which the State of Israel is founded. Our reform is corrective, we want the court to deal with what it should be dealing with: conflict resolution and protection of human rights, but we do not want it to determine the state’s values and be a veto player. I I promise not to violate human rights,” he added.
He also clarified: “We really want a dialogue, obviously when we enter the room and talk, we are also ready to compromise. There are core elements of the reform that cannot be compromised, but there are others on which compromise is definitely possible. We open our hearts, heads and hands to anyone who wants to talk It’s just that there is a problem with both elements among the opponents. The judicial system in general is not aware that there is a problem. They do not understand what the problem is. The political system, unfortunately, does not come to the point. They do not come to this with clean hands, the conversation should be with the circles in Israeli society, with Those who are protesting. There are certainly things that we are ready to correct. There will be a dialogue in the committee and there will be outside the Knesset, in the president’s residence and in other places. We need a side to the dialogue, the side that is willing to speak.
