In recent weeks, Globes has published a long series of columns and interviews with experts in law and economics in an attempt to break down the legal reform into its components and discuss the controversies. To this end, we published a wide variety of opinions from all corners of Israeli society. In this framework, we also published two major polls, which showed that the majority of the public (59%) wants to reach a compromise. We also found that a minority of the Israeli public (19%) supports the legal reform as presented by the government, but an in-depth examination of the articles of the reform showed that the majority of the public does not support the current legal situation either.

What do the executives in the business sector want?
So what is everyone talking about and is it possible to reach a historic compromise? On Sunday, on the eve of the Knesset voting, President Yitzhak Herzog presented a compromise outline based on five principles and centered on a call for negotiations. A short time later, the chairmen and CEOs of the five major banks announced that they were calling for negotiations based on the outline.
In an attempt to understand how dominant this voice is in the business sector, the Globes system contacted managers from different sectors in the last day. Dozens of them replied that they wish to join the call for negotiations based on the president’s principles for the benefit of the economy and society in Israel, without going into one or another detail in the outline.
