An unusual announcement from the President’s House: Herzog will make a statement to the nation this evening
In addition, President Yitzhak Herzog, who has been trying to bridge the gap between the parties for over a week, announced today (Sunday) in a highly unusual manner that he will deliver a special speech to the nation this evening. This is not the first time that the president of the country refers to this issue. Already a week ago, the president referred for the first time to the reform of the judicial system: “The values of the Declaration of Independence are the compass of our country – I will not allow them to be harmed,” the president wrote. “This is a sensitive and explosive time in the Israeli public. I am awake to the voices heard from here and there, and to all the pains, worries and anxieties. It does not disappear from my eyes and keeps me busy non-stop.”
