The words of the incoming Minister of Justice, Yariv Levin, who claimed last night from the stage of the Knesset that: “Netanyahu’s indictments have led to a public understanding that there is a need for reform”, drew many reactions from across the political spectrum. This morning (Tuesday), Guy Peleg opened his program by expressing his opinion on the statement: “He clearly and unequivocally linked the Netanyahu cases to the legal reforms.”

Pelag stated: “Gentlemen, the ax is out of the bag courtesy of Justice Minister Yariv Levin.” He explained: “The Minister of Justice clearly and unequivocally linked the Netanyahu cases to the legal reforms. You can already see on the horizon the chief prosecutor who will be appointed by the government. After the division of the position of Attorney General, he announced that after the failures, he is withdrawing the indictment.”
He further explained: “Yariv Levin is not an opportunist, he truly and sincerely believes in the urgent need to make far-reaching changes in the legal system. In the past, Netanyahu did not flow, he may have thought that they were far-reaching, it is clear that the two, Netanyahu and Levin, did not see eye to eye on the necessary reforms. Against this background Levin was not appointed, despite his closeness to Netanyahu. What has changed? The law.”
